Hi Roberto,

I remember a discussion about the two-sided version of "one man PGs" on the Retros mailing list in 2004 where it was called "Lazy-Spectators-SPG".

The challenge was posted at the bottom of this post:
https://pairlist1.pair.net/pipermail/retros/2004-November/000950.html

Then Michel Caillaud listed some already published At-Home Lazy-Spectators SPGs in 9.0 moves and composed some in 10.5 moves:
https://pairlist1.pair.net/pipermail/retros/2004-November/000962.html

This was followed by more attempts (often cooked) and discussion. See posts with the title "Two little SPG-challenges":

Hi friends,

This is probably not a new matter, but I ask it anyway.

Have the "one man" records been explored? I mean, PGs where one or both sides
move just one piece.

Far away to pretend to be a record, I show an example (surely already done),

One side "one man"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1nb3k1/1pp3pp/3p4/8/1n3p2/7q/PPPPPrPP/RNBQKBNR
12.0 moves   C+

 1. Pf2-f4   Cg8-f6     2. Pf4-f5   Cf6-d5     3. Pf5-f6   Cd5-b4
 4. Pf6xe7   Pf7-f5     5. Pe7xf8=F Pf5-f4     6. Ff8-c5   Dd8-h4
 7. Fc5-f2   Dh4-h3     8. Ff2xa7   0-0        9. Fa7-c5   Ta8-a3
10. Fc5xf8   Ta3-f3    11. Ff8-c5   Pd7-d6    12. Fc5-f2   Tf3xf2

Two sided "one man"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rnbqkbnr/1ppp1p1p/8/8/8/8/P1PPP1PP/1NBQKBNR
7.0 moves   C+

1. Pf2-f4   Pa7-a5     2. Pf4-f5   Pa5-a4     3. Pf5-f6   Pa4-a3
 4. Pf6xg7   Pa3xb2     5. Pg7xf8=F Pb2xa1=F   6. Ff8xe7   Fa1-g7
 7. Fe7-f8   Fg7xf8

There are different tasks, lenght record, Homebase, thematic touches (Pronkin, Donati, etc).

best,
Roberto Osorio
