Subject: A tsume like problem

Hi,

I have composed a tsume shogi problem to illustrate the concepts of
interposing pieces and drop pawn mate.  The answer is long but
straight forward.  So I transform the problem as follows:

Board configuration:
Black: G3c
White: K2a, P3a
Black has 1 Lance and several Pawns in hand.
Everything else except black's King belongs to white as usual.

Question: How many pawns are needed (at least) for black to win?
          What are the moves?

Your answers are welcomed to me in private, but not to the list.

I shall post the answer to this list by next weekend.

regards,

Kai Wan Leung
