Hi!

Two times I wrote my response to your previous message and two times it was
lost. Will now write one short response to only one thing and if everything will
work will send next response.

This position is very useful. My time for first 8 moves.

When I tried mate in 9 and it was without any response in more that 30 min, I
disconnected. It could be long. Selective said for sure that mate in 9 exist
(0.32sec). It is move by white rook.

When I looked into your time then I could see that on this position my program
lost in both places. So, your friend did a perfect job!!! First in specilized
plys and later in upper plys. In upper plys it could be only in around 4 times
but rest of its speed is in specialized. I actually have in mind time that I
found on my computer and without any hash. On initial 4 ply your still was 00
seconds and only on 5 ply, 0.22. 8 moves took only 3 minutes. Mine took 20 times
as much. At least 5 or 6 times came from specialized plys.

When I went to see counters in 3 ply (just the same ply that you indicated) I
found that it have plainty of potential for speeding. Around half of all
position in that ply have checking moves (black check white side) and king have
many legal moves.

Cheers,
Leonid.
