Hello Leonid,

Chest finds this one to be a mate in 10:

PV: Qxd7+ Qbxd7 Bxd7+ Qdxd7 Qhxf7+ Qfxf7 Qfxf7+ Bxf7 Qxb8+ Qad8 Qxe7+ Qgxe7
Qxd8+ Qdxd8 Rxd8+ Qxd8 Qc6+ Qd7 Nc7#

No other move forces a mate in 10.  This was done on a K7/600 with 350MB hash,
and needed 45 minutes to complete.  The effective branching factor (EBF)
became better and better this time:

depth  seconds     EBF  moves/nodes  hash-speed
#  3      0.04s                 1kN  0.96        107-         0
#  4      0.27s [  6.75]       12kN  1.03       1158-         0
