I really don't know exact minimum amount of moves for this position and expect that somebody will come with response. I had too bad branching factor when I tried to solve it in perfect way. As a result, I saw this position by brute force only 6 moves deep (already 23 min). In 6 moves for sure no mate. And in 10 - mate was found by my selective search. Shortest mate exist without any doubt between 7 and 10 moves. Cheers, Leonid. >With white to move, I didn't find a #5, using Mate 2.0 with standard options. > >Regards, >M.Scheidl
