Glossary
Twinning a) white to move, b) black to move. Find the a) and b) "same nature" legal last move.
The move's nature is determined by the type of the piece/pieces involved (K, Q, R, B, N, P) and the type of movement (simple, straight promotion, simple capture, capturing promotion, e.p., pawn double step, O-O, O-O-O).
An ELM problem is not (in general) a Last Move type D one. The diagram could present many legal candidates to be the last move, but there is just one for a) and just one for b) that are of the same nature. On the contrary, all the Last Move type DD problems are particular ELM ones.
