>I am still interested though that if Bringer said mate in 18 is it sure it also >can reach it ? That I don't know for sure: the author of Bringer could know that. But I suspect that an announced mate *is* a forced mate, just the same way others do it, also. After 10 hours of crunching on a PIII/550 with 500MB hash table Chest 3.19 states "no mate in 16". Somewhere in the search there have been some partial "mate in 13", so a mate in 18 appears plausible to me. May be there is no shorter mate at all, which lets me wonder how Bringer managed to find this mate... respect. Heiner Marxen heiner@drb.insel.de http://www.drb.insel.de/~heiner/
