Hi!

Pretz (with just check extensions turned on) finds a Mate in 9 in 14 seconds on
my P2/400, but no other mate before that (congrats Christophe :) ...

Qxc6+ Bb7 Rg8+ Bd8 Rxd8#

I've been looking through the archives a bit, and came across this mate that Dr.
Dann posted a long time ago, it's not too easy, but not too difficult either for
top programs (but mine has a hard time finding it :) ...

J'espère que ce te plais (my French isn't what it used to be, ha!) ...

Salut!
Paul
