Hi @woll thanks for your entries on the current weekly challenge.
These entries do not meet the challenge criteria as moving the King onto a Hill square to win the game, would mean you violate the requirement of "no pieces on the four hill squares at any point in the game".
We will update the challenge description to be more clear, but you must win the game via mate to satisfy this challenge.
