I found the following,

rsbqkbsr/ppp1ppp1/8/6P1/3P3K/6P1/PPP2BBP/RS4SR
22 single moves. 14 + 14 C+

1.Pf2-f4 Ph7-h5 2.Ke1-f2 Sg8-h6 3.Kf2-g3 Ph5-h4
4.Kg3xh4 Pd7-d5 5.Pg2-g3 Pd5-d4 6.Bf1-g2 Pd4-d3
7.Qd1-f1 Pd3xe2 8.Pd2-d4 Pe2xf1=Q 9.Bc1-e3 Qf1-b5
10.Be3-f2 Qb5-g5 11.Pf4xg5 Sh6-g8

wich provides a rook example to the total homebase task previously presented:

Nicolas Dupont suggested the task of a mate position after the comie back of a piece
to it's homesquare. This suggested to me the hard task of mate position where the
mateing side is at homebase. I've produced the following example,

rsbqkbsr/ppp2ppp/2P5/8/8/3PP1BK/P2PS1PP/RS1Q1B1R
24 single moves. 15 + 14 C+

1.Pc2-c4 Pe7-e5 2.Pc4-c5 Pe5-e4 3.Pc5-c6 Pe4-e3
4.Pf2xe3 Bf8-a3 5.Ke1-f2 Ba3xb2 6.Kf2-g3 Bb2-a3
7.Bc1-b2 Pd7-d5 8.Bb2-e5 Sb8-d7 9.Kg3-h3 Pd5-d4
10.Be5-g3 Pd4-d3 11.Pe2xd3 Ba3-f8 12.Sg1-e2 Sd7-b8

We should interpretate that this task requestes,
* All the mateing side officers at homesquare
* All the mateing side remaining pawns at homesquare
* Mateing side maximum number of pawns on the board/minimum moves number

There are many mate alternatives. Each mate position would have an intrinsic record.
Is there any one feseable in less than 24 single moves?

A very attractive alternative form PGs point of view is to include a Pronkin, wich should
considered as as a separeted task.
