Well, as it would turn out, Faile 1.4 doesn't support board setup (0.6 did, but
was a weaker program :P  I am planning on adding EPD support and other goodies
to Faile 1.4 in the near future though) - but I don't really need to.  Unless
there is some miracle, I'm quite sure Faile wouldn't search this position that
fast.. :P  (even ignoring the fact that you're running a CPU probably 3 or 4
times faster than mine! :P).  With as many checks as there are in that position,
Faile might very well find the mate itself fairly quickly, but I don't imagine
it reaching depth 18!!


Regards,
Adrien.
