I haven't looked at chest, but a mate solver will most probably use an algorithm like proof numbers, which is significantly faster at this kind of stuff. >But what else can you do to speed up mate solving that much ? Prune out a lot of lines based on knowledge. Chest does very sophisticated attack analysis, which allows it to determine things like 'this can't possibly lead to a mate-in-x' -- GCP
