Hi!

Haven't got CM6000 installed at the moment, and don't remember if it's got a
mate level search, but John Merlino is the best person to answer that.

For Pretz this is a difficult problem, for now it finds this:

06:18 WM9 11 Nxh3 Ndxf6 Bxf3 Ng4+ Qfxg4 Bg7+ Qxg7 Rf6+ Qgxf6 Bxe4 Nxf2+ Qxf2
Nf4+ Bxf3 Qgxf3+ Qxf3 Qxf3#
20:52 WM8 11 Bxf3 Ndxf6 Bxg3 Ng4+ Qfxg4 Bg7+ Qxg7 Rf6+ Qgxf6 Nh2 Nf4+ Nxf3
Qgxh3+ Qh2 Qxh2#

Groetjes,
Paul
