Probably this position is the champion by the number of possible solutions.

Mine can't take this position by selective in 7 moves. Only brute force do the
work. In 7, first solution come in 1 min 12 sec. It is nice that you find in 7.
Without this was not even sure if search by brute force have some sense. Mine
first solved position by default selective in 13 moves. Too far away! Time, 0.33
sec.

Cheers,
Leonid.
