My definition of top programs includes seeing every mate in 2 (or even in 4,
nowadays). And because I think of course, that Chess Tiger 14.0 *is* a top
program, not seeing a mate in 2 is a bug. This program usually sees much longer
mates within no time btw.

I cannot accept missing a mate in 2 to be "normal". This is not a "design" issue
IMO.

Three plies...! Normally a program checks that before I can lift my finger from
the mouse button.

Hopefully most beta testers have higher standards...
