Finally I found the time (was very busy today) and looked by curiosity up to the
solution. Could find mate only by brute force search, since my selective was
useless here. Mate is 8 moves deep. It took pretty long time as well to solve.
36 min. AMD 400Mhz. Solver don't use hash.

Very interesting to see how mate is executed. Fine position.
