Thanks, Heiner!

Now I can place this position as 8 moves.

Even if I have many positions for possible verification, it is all the time
useful to have some for future use. I remember that some books that I used for
verifying my mate solver were full of mistakes. It could be that now (5 years
later) it is no more the case.

Salut from Montreal!
