Hi Leonid, I'll give it another try ... the more data I get about my bug the better. Pretz found a mate in 9 here: 00:17 WM9 07 Bxf4+ Qfxf4 Rg1+ Qxg1 Q1xg1+ Kh4 Rh2+ Qh3 Rxh3+ Kxh3 Nxf4+ Qxf4 Bg2+ Qxg2 Qgxg2+ Kh4 Qxf4# and for black it says mate in 8. Hope you'll give us some mate in 12 or 13's in the near future, is better for my testing. Groetjes, Paul
