No mate score at ply 5 and I didn't want to wait for ply 6. Finds
the correct move faster than selective search though.

From one of my own games: Bd1 mates, I played Bf5+ and went on to lose.

The following are off Dan's ftp site, dunno what file. Sjeng
doesn't see the mates in a minute time with brute-force search
(it does see most moves) on my machine. I suspect most other
programs will have little problems with them.
