I rerun the test with 3 minutes. I find mostly the same.

All the others agree in the first move and the score, however Yace needs often
more time.

Additionally:
r4rk1/1bq2ppp/p1p1p3/2b1P1B1/3p2Q1/3B4/PPP2PPP/R3R1K1 w - - bm Bxh7+; id
"ECM.1597";

   2616001  14.198  Mat08  8t  1.Bxh7+ Kxh7 2.Bf6 gxf6 3.Qh4+ Kg6 4.Qxf6+ Kh7
                               5.Re4 Qxe5 6.Rh4+ Qh5 7.Rxh5+H Kg8H 8.Rh8#H
                               {381}

The "H" at the end of the moves means, that the moves were picked from the hash
table at display time, and can be different than at search time. Here, they look
correct.

From you posts, I have seen, that GLC is really good at solving mates (I mean
especially the Leonid positions, where Yace is often chanceless.) Do you have
any special trick, that you want to share? :-)

Dieter
