Very nice to have two solutions, with different promotion pairs.
With a fairy piece (grasshopper) but no fairy condition, and with a twin (but a very good one), there is at least one longer help-doublestalemate: Helmut Rössler, 1. Prize feenschach May 1973, WinChloe 10153.
This Rössler’s is one of these where I wonder how on Earth it is possible to put together two so wildly different long solutions with different ideas at the end. Maybe a result of diligent cooking the original one-solution position?
In view of the fact that the first solution contains such a strong theme (an 8-move black S star), that is exactly what I believe!
Dear Kjell,
thank you for your comment and the problem you told about. I did my search with orthodox pieces.
With fairy piece(s) the problem of Rossler is fantastic and longer but it is possible to object there is no great unity between the two solutions.
Here is the position for the readers :

In fact with fairy pieces and with twins the longer h==n is H==9,5. Here is the only example with more unity than the problem of Rossler which is more a “juxtaposition” of two monosolutions :

With no twins (fairy or orthodox pieces) the longer h==2 2 solutions seems h==6,5 (problem 722)
