My CMKing+ took than 1 Sec, probably a fraction of a Sec to find this Mate,
I believe that certain program like CM6000 has mate as the first priority
withing it search evaluation code, while Fritz 6a revealed that it first check
all of its possible capture possibility, but still Mate should be every programs
first priority, followed by all other capture possibilities.
