Thema I (Brand/Dittmann) :
Schlagschach: Shortest dual-free proofgame with a Pronkin piece
Ranking is based on the number of moves.

Theme II (Dittmann/Wenda) :
Anticirce: Construct a position in which white is stalemate, and where
white has a maximal number of possible moves which are illegal due to
self-check.
Example:
S1Sr2K1/5b2/6k1/8/8/8/5p2/8 (3+4)
White is stalemate, 11 illegal self-checks (Anticirce)

Ranking is based on the number of possible illegal moves, and secondly
on the number of used pieces.

Theme III: (Dittmann)
Double maximummer. Find a proofgame in which the kings end up on
diagonally opposing corners (a1+h8 or h1+a8). Uniqueness of the
proofgame isn't necessary.

Ranking is based on the number of moves.

Theme IV: (Dittmann)
Duellanten chess: Exact proofgame in which as many as possible pawns
make at least two single steps and no double step.

Ranking is based on the number of pawns making at least 2 single steps
and no double-step, and secondly on the minimum of the number of moves used.

Example:
Dittmann
r1bqkbsr/pppppppp/8/8/PPP1P3/3s2P1/3P1P1P/RSBQKBSR (16+16)
Proofgame in 9.0 moves, duellanten chess
