Hi @lupo_wolf

Your first submission is ineligible as the cannon isn't giving check to the King (although I appreciate it is contributing to the mate).

Your second submission is eligible, however it isn't in the lead, as the first criteria is:
> 1. Most squares between the opponent's King and your mating Cannon

Others have submitted entries with the maximum distance between Cannon and King, so these trump your second entry.
