Mate in 18 moves? I am busy to release some new EPD test sets in the Rebel9 subscription area. One the EPD sets is a 200 positions selection from the Austrian Modul magazine with lots of funny old stuff. I then came across the following cool "mate in 18(?)" position: [Event "?"] [Site "3/93-51 Matt in wieviel?"] [Date "1992.01.01"] [Round "?"] [White "Kristian Skoeld: Sc"] [Black ""] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "?"] [BlackElo "?"] [FEN "1r4r1/3q1npk/2b1pbnp/Rp1p4/1N1P3P/2PQ1pP1/1K3B2/5B1R w - - 0 1"] 1. Qxg6+ Kxg6 2. Bd3+ Kh5 3. g4+ Kxg4 4. Rg1+ Kf4 5. Bg3+ Kg4 6. Be1+ Kh3 7. Bf1+ Kh2 8. Bg3+ Kxg1 9. Ra1 Ra8 10. Rc1 Ra1 11. Kxa1 Qa7+ 12. Kb2 Qa1+ 13. Kxa1 Ra8+ 14. Na2 Rxa2+ 15. Kxa2 Bg5 16. hxg5 f2 17. Bh3+ f1=Q 18. Rxf1# 1-0 I have tried Rebel9 for a few minutes but it didn't find the mate. The usual killers (quiet moves) here are: 9.Ra1 10.Rc1 and especially 16.hxg5 f2 Any program? - Ed -
