In sharp contrast to the above result, the search for the shortest mate is
much harder: after 10.2 hours (!) Chest says "No solution in 8 moves."

 depth   time    EBF[T]              EBF[N]  hash-speed
#  1      0.00s                 0kN           0.87          1-         0
#  2      0.00s                 0kN           1.00          1-         0
#  3      0.16s                 8kN [ 95.32]  0.99        111-         0
#  4      2.11s [ 13.19]       82kN [ 10.93]  1.25       5946-         0
#  5     25.41s [ 12.04]     1008kN [ 12.25]  1.58      90608-         0
#  6    253.41s [  9.97]    10394kN [ 10.31]  1.96     946154-         0
#  7   2749.70s [ 10.85]   113463kN [ 10.92]  2.28    9993300-   1727617
#  8  36553.28s [ 13.29]  1530367kN [ 13.49]  2.37  134410086- 125662185

Since the EBF is above 13 and likely to increase for the next depth,
I will not continue to go deeper with Chest.  :-(
(Done on a K7/600 with 350 MB hash)

Have a nice day,
