Hi Tim,

you´re right - I just looked at Dieters result and saw #7.

I´ve tried again position alone with ChestUCI with the following result:

ChestUCI Ver.2.7  UCI:

CPU: Celeron 400MHz
FEN: 6b1/4Kpk1/5r2/8/3B2P1/7R/8/8 w - -
Suche nach Matt in 10 ...  (Hash=63MB)
Matt in 5 gefunden !  (1 Loesung in 00:00)
T5  00:01  M5  Th6 Kxh6 Kxf6 Kh7 g5 Kh8 g6 fxg6 Kxg6+

Best wishes,
Franz.
