Hallo

[D]5rk1/p4p1p/6b1/q7/6P1/1P6/Q4p1P/K1R5 b - -

This nice position was reached by YACE against The Baron on ICC. It seems that
some engines have a problem to find a mate, not to speak of a mate in 8!


Engine: ChestUCI Ver.2.8
by HM / FH
CPU: AthlonXP2200+
FEN: 5rk1/p4p1p/6b1/q7/6P1/1P6/Q4p1P/K1R5 b - -

I do not know why The Baron lost on time.
