Here is the ColChess search of the position.  It is interesting (to me) because
it does NOT use NULL MOVE.  I estimate it would complete ply 11 in under an
hour, ply 12 in under 4 hours, and ply 13 in a day.  I'm not sure if extensions
would spot the mate in-between or not (though ColChess is particularly adept at
spotting mates before other programs do at the same depth of search).
