Probably on this position we have similar search. Mine found mate in 9 moves by
brute force in 16 min and 28 sec. LLchess. Celeron 600. No hash.

Angrim's program look like to have better chance this time by finding shorter
mate by selective search. Mine find mate only in 11 moves in 8 seconds.

Cheers,
Leonid.
