Thanks! Will try to use it the next time.

Are there no mistake? You have really 335Mb hash?

216 sec for 9 moves like very good. I went, by brute force, only up to 7 moves.
It was already 2 min. 19 sec. But for this position, which look very heavy,
branching factor was very normal. Like what you can expect from usual forced
mate position.

4 moves - 0.77 sec
               branching factor 5.8
5 moves - 4.39 sec
                                5.3
6 moves - 23.02 sec
                                6.1
7 moves - 2 min 19 sec

Leonid.
