[D]2r3k1/1b3ppp/1P5r/1B2pP2/Q2bp2q/7P/6P1/1R2NR1K b - - 0 1 This position is from the israeli league and my analysis showed that it is mate in 12 (chessmaster could see mate in 17 after 17 minutes and 26 seconds) [D]2Q2nk1/p4rpp/4pr2/2p1p3/4Pn1q/2PPN3/PP3PPP/R3N1RK b - - 0 1 solution 1...Qxh2+ 2.Kxh2 Rh6+ 3.Kg3 Ne2+ 4.Kg4 Rf4+ 5.Kg5 Rhh4 6.Qxf8+ Kxf8 7.g4 Rh3 8.Nf5 Nxg1 chessmaster6000(ss=10) found this line after only 7 minutes and 35 seconds with evaluation of mate in 15(It is mate in 13) chessmaster shows thinking line and I could see that it used most of the time for the line 1...Qxh2+ 2.Kxh2 Rh6+ 3.Kg3 Ne2+ 4.Kg4 Rf4+ 5.Kg5 Rhh4 but chessmaster needs more time to see it. [D]3r1r1k/2n1Qp1p/1q2pNpP/p3P3/1ppp4/3P2P1/PP3Pb1/R3R1K1 w - - 0 1 I posted this position a long time ago. Ne8 is mate in 10 chessmaster(ss=10) needed only 9 seconds on pentiumIII450 to see the forced mate I am interested to know if there is an improvement in chess programs and if there are chess programs that can compete with chessmaster in finding checkmates in the middlegame.
