what is the cook when the a-pawn is lower than a6 ?

For example: 1.Ke8 2.hxg3 3.gxf4 7.f8=B 8.Bb4 13.f8=B 14.Bfe7 18.Ka6 20.Bxh6 21.Bf4 24.h8=R 26.Rxc6 27.Rxc4 29.Ra8 30.Bb8 32.Ba5-c7 33.Ka7 35.a6 !=
So, with wPa6 that should already not be possible.

Is it so important to say « without capture « ?
Is there already a longer position « with captures » ?

Yes, the longest has 173 moves with and 119 moves without promoted force. See PDB P1333509 and P1273550. In long series-movers captures are usually quite important to get small changes in the position that add length.

Thanks to Václav for the cook that I should have seen…
Would like to correct this with wBd7 instead of wPa7 and one move shorter – a ser-!=65. The solution remains unchanged besides after 1.Bc8 2. Ba6 everything is one move less. Maybe you can test again?

A full test of this version is not possible by either Alybadix or Gustav. I tested this sd-auto=65 with Gustav 4.2c with the additional condition that pawn promotions can only be on the bishop, and the problem passed this test! Even this partial test required over 60 hours of computer time.
