Pity that evern such doublings get anticipatedf. Obviously so much has already been done in Proofgames.

Yes, especially for what is called “future proof games”. The above is symbolized as KP(S,s) & SW(K,k) where KP is the Prentos theme (Ceriani-Frolkin captured by an officer) – the analogy with helpmates of the future is clear – 4 tricks (in place of 4 solutions) going by pairs.

Dear Dupont,
I would like to see an example of an analogous HOTF to understand what is meant by the “future games”

The analogy is purely formal. Numerous proof games are showing 4 tricks in an homogeneous way – 2 pieces of same type A perform theme X, and 2 pieces of same type B perform theme Y. Roberto Osorio decided (around 2008) to call them “future proof games” X(A,A) & Y(B,B).

Your entry above fullfills this definition in the bicolor setting – 2 Knights (S,s) perform the Prentos theme and 2 Kings (K,k) perform the switchback theme.
