Mate in 8.  Two key moves.  On K7/600 with 350 MB hash Chest after 441.12 sec
(7.4 min) mutters:

Nxc5+ Qbxc5 Nxe5+  Qfxe5 Q6xe6+ Qdxe6 Nxc5+  Kc8   Qhxe6+ Qcxe6 Qxe6+  Qexe6
Qexe6+ Qxe6 Qxe6#

Nxe5+ Qfxe5 Nxc5+  Qbxc5 Q6xe6+ Qdxe6 Nxc5+  Kc8   Qhxe6+ Qcxe6 Qxe6+  Qexe6
Qexe6+ Qxe6 Qxe6#

As often, symetric solutions to a (nearly) symetric problem.
Timing info reveals that Chest does feel quite comfortly:

Also, black likes to deliver mate-in-1 to white:
