It is good passage! You make me laugh.

I am not that happy with this position. I found it only be selective search in 9
moves. Tim, in the next message, found mate on exact number. I still hope that
somebody will come with minimum number indication. If not, only later, will put
my computer for minimum search by brute force. Don't have free computer to do
this easily.
