Well ... since no one else volunteers, this someone could do that :)

It's at most a mate in 17 in Pretz's humble opinion, so I hope those 12 moves
went quickly otherwise there's no chance of Chest finding it :) The PV is kind
of strange coz of some well known EGTB effects I haven't fixed yet:

1. Nc2+ Ka2 2. Nb4+ Ka3 3. Nd3 Bxd3 4. Qd6+ Ka4 5. Qxd3 b2+ 6. Kc2 b1=Q+ 7. Kxb1
Kb4 8. Qh3 Kc4 9. Qxh4+ Kc5 10. Qf6 Kd5 11. Kc2 Kc5 12. Kxc3 Kd5 13. Qe7 Kc6 14.
Kc4 Kb6 15. Qd7 Ka6 16. Kc5 Ka5 17. Qa7#

Groetjes,
Paul
