If I understand, the stipulation means that there are plenty of  
solutions (for example moves by the wQ are not uniquely determined),  
but only one where the diagram position already occured 2 times during  
the solution.

It seems curious that PDB asserts it is computer tested with Natch,  
although shorter games with same stipulation are not (e.g. P1003993 in  
11.5). Is it a mistake or is there really a way to check such  
problems? Looking at hand each solution to detect the only one  
satisfying the hypothesis?

Best,

Nicolas.
