Nice result! It is mate in 11. I went 11 moves by selective and later also 10
moves by brute force to be sure that it is mate in 11.

By curiosity I looked into Chest search by brute force without hash. Was amused
by seeing how much our branching factor (with exception of one between move 5
and 6) was close.
