What is the importance of finding the fastest mate. There are programs that stop to search when they find one mate and I do not see it as important for games if they know to find a shorter mate in the next move. It is also possible that Bb7 is a draw by the 50 move rule when Rxg2+ is not a draw by the 50 move rule so if I get the position without knowing the history I am going to prefer Rxg2+ Uri
