Thanks, Heiner, for 11!

I ended with 9 moves, where my solver took already 4 hours and 25 min. Only 12
is not sure.

All those shortest mates (when it is possible to find them) are very useful for
me, like it was today. I spent entire day with my mate solver and touched more
that 2 thousands line of code. By resolving old positions, with shortest mate
already indicated, I found that my writing contains some bugs. Probably, will do
nothing more today but tomorrow will return to my code with new bug hunt and
position verification.

Cheers,
Leonid.
