Yes, comparatively easy for Chest.  After 79.19 seconds on Athlon 1500+
with 350 MB hash table Chest solves as mate in 10 with a unique key move:

PV: Q3c4+ Nc6 d7+ Kc7 dxe8=N+ Kc8 Qd7+ Qxd7 Qxd7+ Kxd7 Bxc6+ Kxd8 Qhd5+ Qd6
Qxd6+ Kc8 Bxa8+ Nc7 Qdxc7#

Timing shows a really small EBF (drops below 3):

#  4      0.04s [  2.00]        6kN [  7.29]  1.06        613-         0
#  5      0.26s [  6.50]       26kN [  4.69]  1.21       3070-         0
#  6      1.01s [  3.88]       98kN [  3.72]  1.60      11559-         0
#  7      3.49s [  3.46]      335kN [  3.43]  2.38      43028-         0
#  8     10.82s [  3.10]     1087kN [  3.24]  3.51     140889-         0
#  9     29.16s [  2.70]     2945kN [  2.71]  5.18     385345-         1
# 10     79.18s [  2.72]     8036kN [  2.73]  6.52    1096332-       278
