Sorry, but I don´t get the point of your answer!

Would you say, that posting the entire game would be a _proof_ of the
correctness of these mate announcements?
Even if these games were finished in _exactly_ the announced number of moves,
this is far away from any true proof.
I´ve seen already dozens of long mate studies of quite popular authors, which
I (and others) have proved to be completely wrong by the help of mate solvers!

So again: where is your PROOF?

Franz.
