Thanks, Heiner!

Mine could not go more that 9 moves, since 10 could be expected in around 20
hours. Too long for me with only one desktop to use in my house.

It is very impressive that your have very nice branching factor with deeper
search. With my program I saw some stagnation with branching factor between 7
and 8 move and later 8 and 9 move.

For brute force search up to 9 move:

Moves           Time           Branching factor        NPS.
