Shearer I assume a 50 move rule isn't valid anymore at such a board, so give me 5 minutes on a clock and bet for 100 dollar that i can't do it, and you'll know :) You just need another few moves to close the king a bit further in. there are several methods to mate. I'm sure one of the methods is a bit harder now, but if you use the 'making the diagonal smaller' method, then it's still a peanut. Just don't let the king escape or even the 100 move is gonna get tough :)
