Frenzee needs almost 26 seconds (@2GHz AMD) to see the mate

7 -1639 10 45590 1...Qe1 3.Qb2 Rc8 4.Ka2 Rxc1 5.Qxc1 Qxc1
8 -1905 19 130492 1...Qe1 3.Qb2 Rc8 4.Rb1 f1=Q 5.Qh8+ Kxh8

12 -299985 2563 23874386 [Mate in 8] 1...Qe1 3.Kb2 Qd2+ 4.Ka3 Qxc1+ 5.Qb2 f1=Q
6.Qxc1 Qxc1+ 7.Ka2 Bc2 8.b4

I think it actually gets a mate bound faster, the current version just doesn't
output fail highs on the first move and a mate score is definitely outside the
initial window.
