Fine!  Chest confirms all this (2.5 hours K7/600 with 350 MB hash):

PV: bxa6+ Kb8 Qh8+ Qc8 Qxc8+ Kxc8 Nxe7+ Qfxe7 Bf5+ Qad7 Bxd7+ Qcxd7 Bxa7+ Qc7
Qff5+ Qd7 Qfxd7#

This is the only key move.
Leonid's time appears to be similar to that of Chest, this time:

#  1      0.00s                 0kN           0.87          1-         0
#  2      0.01s                 0kN           1.00          1-         0
#  3      0.04s [  4.00]        2kN [ 17.74]  0.97         76-         0
#  4      0.28s [  7.00]       15kN [  9.66]  1.04       1353-         0
#  5      2.62s [  9.36]      117kN [  7.73]  1.16      13556-         0
#  6     18.96s [  7.24]      859kN [  7.37]  1.30     106311-         0
#  7    141.96s [  7.49]     6480kN [  7.54]  1.44     843816-         0
#  8   1099.97s [  7.75]    50015kN [  7.72]  1.64    6709202-    207220
#  9   8881.32s [  8.07]   394504kN [  7.89]  1.76   54835847-  46087946

EBF was remarkably stable, just a bit below 8.

What decision?  Do you have some URL to read?

Ein schönes Wochenende wünscht
