This sure has a lot of transpositions possible!
I just added support for transpositions to my pn^2 code, and with the
new code my chess position solver handled this nice and fast, but the
old version took longer than I have patience for.

new version:
proved that move e4xc3 wins, 13 turns
PN2:12688384 evals, 286977 expands, 79.30 seconds

I halted the old version after 190m evals, 1363 seconds.

Are we going to be seeing any other types of mate puzzles on here?
All of the recent ones have been on the same theme of
mountains of pieces piled around the kings.  Rather unusual case in
a real game.
