> Congratulations on finding a vast improvement! The idea of using the second rank pawns to attack the 3rd rank square is a brilliant one! Since there are no tempo moves, as that would allow for a parity switch to save a ply, I think it is safe to say that this is optimal. Thanks for the fun challenge-I look forward to your next one!
