This should have been presented with unknown pieces and the stipulation “White is mated. PG in 7.0” with exactly the same solution.
C+ Jacobi in 1300s.
It looks even more suitable presented with PG 6.5 unknown pieces and #1. Indeed the position remains at home but the economy is reinforced with one more piece on the board. This is still C+ Jacobi:

Yes, this variation is even more homogeneous with involved Knights from both sides.
From Sergei I got 2 FENs – with normal and unknown pieces. Finally used the one with pieces as otherwise couldn’t animate the solution. Maybe it would be better to leave it without animation then..

The “visible” problem, dear Julia, is too light, but becomes interesting with unknown pieces. Among the 3 variations Sergey proposed, my favorite is the last one in 6.0 with harmonious holes on the 4 Knight squares. But of course this is to the author to decide.
Мне последняя версия PG 6.0 тоже нравится больше. Красивая диаграммная картинка. Задание можно придумать с юмором: PG 6.0 & #1. Where are the horses? 🙂
Есть другие варианты?
Если Юлия согласится поставить задачу под No.1297.1 со скрытыми фигурами X1XXXX1X/XXXXXXXX/8/8/8/8/XXXXXXXX/X1XXXX1X, буду доволен.
P.S. Sorry, I don’t speak English.

PG 6.0 & #1. Where are the horses?
One way to get an animated solution *and* undefined pieces is to end with a dummy move that turns the last position into what we want. For example, here’s the p2w-solution for a PG 6.5 and #1, which I think was the intention:
1.h2-h4 Sb8-c6 2.h4-h5 Sc6-d4 3.h5-h6 Sd4*e2 4.h6*g7 Se2*c1 5.g7*f8=B Sc1-d3 + 6.Ke1-e2 Sd3-e1 7.Bf8*e7 Qd8*e7 + 8.Ra1-a1 [+nOa1][+nOb1][+nOd1][+nOe1][+nOf1][+nOg1][+nOh1] [+nOa2][+nOb2][+nOc2][+nOd2][+nOe2][+nOf2][+nOg2]
[+nOa7][+nOb7][+nOc7][+nOd7][+nOe7][+nOf7][+nOh7] [+nOa8][+nOc8][+nOd8][+nOe8][+nOg8][+nOh8]
The drawback is that the dummy move will appear as part of the solution. To get something perfect we would need to make a feature request to Dmitri Turevski.
This problem is Jacobi+:

Who dares to test with undefined pieces?
