Crafty likes e8=Q+ and sees a mate in 8. I strongly suspect that there is no
mate in 7 for e8=Q+, since I have never seen Chest miss any before.
8 7:26 Mat08 1. e8=Q+ Bf7 2. Bxf5 Rxc6 3. Bg4+ Kg6
4. Qbe4+ Nxe4 5. Bf5+ Kh5 6. Qxf7+
Rg6 7. Bg4+ Kh4 8. Nxg2#
8-> 9:42 Mat08 1. e8=Q+ Bf7 2. Bxf5 Rxc6 3. Bg4+ Kg6
4. Qbe4+ Nxe4 5. Bf5+ Kh5 6. Qxf7+
Rg6 7. Bg4+ Kh4 8. Nxg2#
