Have the impression that you have managed to create pretty effective mate
solving logic. This is the mate in 9.

I looked first 8 moves by brute force to be sure that no mate existe in lower
level. Only for 9 moves I used selective search. Probably even by brute force it
will be not that long to solve for 9. Branching factor for this position was
quit mild.

No.

Usually is is said: "Good day" (Dorbiy den).

The next time you must ask your translator to translate back for me. I don't
have Russian driver for reading this kind of script. After living for already 21
years in in Canada, I read very little in Rissian. But I read a lot.

Have a good weather in Amsterdam, my friend! I think that in your country you
are as eager for warm Spring as we are. Here we are crazy about sunshine. Now I
still can see from my balcony snow on other side of the street.

Privet iz Kanady!
Leonid.
