While keeping the ACPL low: my method

Hello all !
So i wanna share a game with 6pawns on the same file while explaining my idea how to get their while keeping the acpl low. first i wanna tell you what the names are from 2pawns on the same file or more. 2pawns on the same file= double pawns 3pawns on the same file = triple pawns 4pawns on the same file is quadriple pawns 5pawns on the same file is quintuple pawns thx to Torhun for let me know. 6pawns on the same file got the weird name sextupled pawns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sextuple_(football) I have seen people make compositions for 6pawns on the same file giving pieces to get that structure but i don't like to give pieces for no reason in a study for it and the challenge is for me that the evalutation not swing to much. I though its impossible to get 6pawns on the same file without giving pieces or pawns for nothing. I make a game where the evaluation was not swinging that much as you might expect from a game where you try to get 6pawns on the same file.

i was satisfied first with this one ofcourse both sides had to play a bit strange moves to keep the evaluation low. i don't wanna say to much about it but what this game have in common with the most important composition for me game 2 Is that one player got 3pawns on the same file as well aka a triple pawn early on.But later i had a composition for 6 pawns on the same file which actually was a lot better.

see this oneAt first i had no idea how to start i did something like 1Nf3 Nf6 2Ne5 (strange move but i did it to give black a double pawn 3Nxc6 dxc6 4d3 e5 5e4 Bc5 and that structure remind me of the berlin so i make my version allready more sound by simply playing the berlin opening with d3 and Bxc6. and the main thing why the acpl is low besides that i use stockfish in the analysis for it is that i found one idea to go for a perpetual check.And if i got a perpetual check i can go much easier for my goal to get 6pawns on the same file while the moves are technically sound maybe weird but the eval don't change in the end i'm really happy the acpl is very low for both but key was the draw tactic with the rooksac.with draw tricks allmost any goal can be achieved.

here i got a study where i get 5pawns on the same file but in a relative quite normal way also one just gotta remember 25moves i did the same thing basicly repeating the same moves for a while using the draw technique but here one gotta remember less moves and it looks more natural but ofcourse slightly easier to make 5pawns on the same file but still i got the feeling its a underrated study this game got the same idea i try too get 4pawns on the same file

(also called quadriple pawnson both the c and f file.While i keep the eval low the moves looks quite bizarre not gonna lie but technical it was never below -1 with some help of stockfish i went to this and the end position looks interesting to me i could draw a bit earlier but 8pawns vs a queen as draw looks cool esp with the pawn structure like this i hope you enjoy it .ps if one really want serious analyses on actual openings its better to ask someone else about it i just wanna show studies like this which is not easy to make before i realised the perpetual check idea.
