Considering this game:
[Event "NY Open, New York USA"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1998.??.??"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Gurevich, D."]
[Black "Young, R."]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "A22"]
[WhiteElo "2540"]
[BlackElo "2295"]
[PlyCount "53"]
[EventDate "1998.??.??"]

1. c4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Nf3 e4 4. Ng5 b5 5. Ngxe4 Nxe4 6. Nxe4 bxc4 7.
e3 d5 8. Nc3 Be7 9. d3 cxd3 10. Bxd3 c6 11. e4 Be6 12. exd5 cxd5 13.
Bb5+ Kf8 14. Be3 Nd7 15. Nxd5 Qa5+ 16. Nc3 Ne5 17. O-O h5 18. Bf4 Ng6
19. Bd6 Rd8 20. Bxe7+ Kxe7 21. Qe2 Rd4 22. Rad1 Rg4 23. Qe3 Nf4 24. Kh1
Rc8 25. f3 Nxg2 26. Qe5 Rg6 27. b4 Qa3 1-0

Tascbase2.0 apparently finds a mate in 20 seconds [mate in 13].  Crafty
finds a mate in 11 in 21 minutes (60 times longer, but mate more
quickly).  Comments on what sort of techniques are used to find the mate
so quickly using Tascbase?

The original thread in r.g.c.c is titled "Many programs take forever to
find this mate, others no"
