Hi, Heiner!

It is interesting to see that your program did much better that mine. Mine
started with branching factor between 4 and 5 moves as 5. Between 7 and 8 moves
it was already 13. Eight moves took 28 min. Solution by brute force, 9 moves
deep, was found only after 28 min and 38 sec.

Wonderful, sunny day for you as well,
Leonid.
