After some time, I tried again one of your test positions. Here is the result of
Yace:

   1762817  26.780  17.37  1t  1.Qcxc7+ Nxc7 2.Qdxc2 Qbxa5 3.Qxa5 Qxh6 4.Qxf8
                               Bxg4 5.Qxa7+H Kxa7H 6.Bxb7H {1662}
   1972903  29.917  17.38  1t+ 1.Qexc7+ Nxc7 2.Qxa7+ Qxa7 3.Qxa7+ Rxa7 4.Nxf8
                               Qbxd3 5.Qcxc2H Bxg2+H 6.Qcxg2H {1662}
   2651749  39.935  17.63  1t  1.Qexc7+ Nxc7 2.Qdxc2 Qbxa5 3.Qxa5 Qxh6 4.Qxa7+
                               Rxa7 5.Qxb7+ Rxb7 6.Rxf8 {1662}
   3023320  45.345  17.63  1.  1.Qexc7+ Nxc7 2.Qdxc2 Qbxa5 3.Qxa5 Qxh6 4.Qxa7+
                               Rxa7 5.Qxb7+ Rxb7 6.Rxf8 {1662}
   3341491  50.105  18.03  2++ 1.Qexc7+ Bxc7 2.Nd7+ Nxd7 3.Bxc7+ Qxc7 4.Qbxb5+
                               Nxb5 5.Qdxb5+ Qcb6 6.Qaxb6+ Qxb6 7.Rxh7 {1662}
   3363332  50.402  Mat07  2t  1.Qexc7+ Bxc7 2.Nd7+ Nxd7 3.Qaxc7+ Qxc7
                               4.Qbxb5+ Nxb5 5.Qdxb5+ Nb6 6.Qbxb6+ Qxb6
                               7.Qxb6# {350}
   3735698  54.286  Mat07  2.  1.Qexc7+ Bxc7 2.Nd7+ Nxd7 3.Qaxc7+ Qxc7
                               4.Qbxb5+ Nxb5 5.Qdxb5+ Nb6 6.Qbxb6+ Qxb6
                               7.Qxb6# {350}

Within 5 minutes, Yace did not find a shorter mate.

I did not try with default pareamters at all, because I suspected an explosion
in quiescensce search - quite normal for the positions you send and my proogram.
If anybody wants to reproduces with Yace, in the text interface, type qe 1,
under most GUIs, put qe 1 into yace.ini.

Please post more mate problems, but perhaps you might want to consider, that
usually people don't have 10 or more queens available to set up the position on
a real chess board.

Regards,
Dieter
