I very liked position and just added to it some few more pieces for even more
complexities. Now it contain mate that I don't even know exactly in how many
moves. Please say exact number if you can. White goes and mate.
Must add to this position: two black bishops on c6 and f6.
and two white bishops on c3 and f3.
Only could find through my mate solver that mate stays for sure 13 moves ahead.
Through selective search it took 14 seconds on AMD 400 to reach the mate in 13
moves.
Already found through brute force search that mate not existe in 8 moves. For me
it will be too long to wait any more for response.
Please say what program even accepted to search for mate in this position.
Leonid.
