Black has some dangerous resources, so this should be relatively easy
for Chest... in 17.4 minutes on a K7/600 with 350MB hash we have a mate in 11:

Qdxc2+ Qxc2 Qxc2+  Bxc2 Nxc3+  Nxc3  Qfxc4+ Qxc4  Bxc4+  Bb3   Bxb3+  N1xb3
Qxa3+  Qxa3 Qxa3+  Kxa3 Ra1+   Nxa1 Q3xc3+ Ka2 Qb2#

Except for the last depth the effective branching factor of Chest is
quite fine (i.e. small):

depth  seconds
#  1      0.00  0.87          1-         0
#  2      0.00  1.00          1-         0
#  3      0.02  0.93        123-         0
#  4      0.15  1.04        820-         0
#  5      0.58  1.26       3530-         0
#  6      1.92  1.57      11287-         0
#  7      5.64  2.12      31351-         0
#  8     16.06  3.22      87521-         0
#  9     43.20  4.59     237290-         0
# 10    130.78  5.69     733419-         0
# 11   1042.10  4.80    5721756-     74992

  43.20 /  16.06 = 2.689
 130.78 /  43.20 = 3.027
1042.10 / 130.78 = 7.968
