What's with all >the other numbers these programs are getting??? I did some experimenting Tiger and it seems that Tiger rounds down! If the mate is in 1 ply (or 0.5 moves) Tiger calls it Mate in 0. Tiger calls mate in 2 plies (1.0 moves) Mate in 1. And so on. Since the position above is mate in 51 plies (25.5 moves), Tiger calls it Mate in 25. :) I don't know about the other programs.
