As an exception to my general rule :), I've now tried this one with Chest. Just
finished the search for a mate in 10 without result, but in light of the times
and factors I can't start a mate in 11 search now, maybe tomorrow.

Depth	Seconds		Factor

6	.48
7	3.32		6.9
8	28.12		8.5
9	266.92		9.5
10	2348.34		8.8

So depth 11 could take about 6 hours.

Groetjes,
Paul
