Hi, Heiner!

Probably no other program, beyond your, can even try this position by brute
force.

I actually don't know exactly my time for 9 moves for brute force. I see only
search done by brute force in June 25. Later my program was changed. In June
time was:

Move       Time        Branching  factor          NPS.

4          0.71 sec                               212k
                       6.92
5          4.94 sec                               142k
                       5.87
6          29 sec                                 117k
                       5.98
7          2 min 53 sec                           91k
                       5.46
8          15 min 46 sec                          84k

Mate in 9 moves was found by selective.

Seeing your time is always interesting. It indicate, at least to me, that on
this position mine (if used all advances that you already have in your 3 ply)
solver could be speeded as much as 30 times. Around 10 times when I look speed
for 4 ply, and other 3 because of Assembler.

Cheers,
Leonid.
