Subject: Tasc R30 faster than Shredder 9 on a modern PC?

Well, of course a tad provocative.  :))
In general the answer might be negative...

OK, but it's true at least if you compare its analysis to R30's solution on a
special mate level:

J. Kohtz, C.Kockelkorn, Palamède, 1865.
Mate in 5.

[d]8/8/2B1N3/3rp3/4k2K/7Q/2r3Pn/1b1N4 w - - 0 1

Shredder is not able to give the correct answer on the infinite level on my
machine within a reasonable time frame (Is there a special mate solving level? I
haven't found any). After showing him the first moves and going back, he agrees
and announces mate in 5. A sort of revenge :)), when the programs show me the
mates in three I missed in my games...

Tasc R30 needs 48 sec on the #5 level.

Does your favourite program find the correct line without your help?

Wood Pusher Regards,

P.S. ChestUCI v3.9 (Search Mode: Automatic) needs 46 sec on my computer (Athlon
1900+). Not that much faster.
