The original poster said that he guess that if the program find the first move
the rest should follow so I guess that he is going to be happy with finding the
first move.

yace has a fail low at depth 15 so I guess it has good chances to find the first
move.
Here is yace last lines and yace did not finish solving the fail low problem at
depth 15 so I guess that it can find Rc4 at depth 15
