Hi Leonid,

Chest finds a unique key move for depth 11 (Athlon 1500+, 2.7 hours, 128MB hash)

PV: Nh8+ Kf5 Bxh3+ Qg4 Qxd3+ Ne4 Nxe6 Bxd2+ b4 Bxb4+ Rxb4 Rxe6 Qf7+ Ref6 Rxd6
Ng2 Rxd5+ Ne5 Rxe5+ Kxe5 Qfd5#

Here is my timing info:
#  4      0.03s                 3kN [  5.34]  1.04        459-         0
#  5      0.17s [  5.67]       13kN [  4.27]  1.20       2522-         0
#  6      0.70s [  4.12]       53kN [  3.95]  1.64      11254-         0
#  7      2.63s [  3.76]      216kN [  4.10]  2.22      45584-         0
#  8     13.78s [  5.24]     1468kN [  6.79]  2.56     249668-         0
#  9    107.31s [  7.79]    15276kN [ 10.41]  2.59    1704722-      6749
# 10   1318.46s [ 12.29]   187860kN [ 12.30]  2.64   20453322-  17254089
# 11   9864.46s [  7.48]  1420383kN [  7.56]  2.70  151896018- 148696785

So, it does jump with its EBF, but not as dramatically as for you.
In the rest of my statistics I also do not see anything unusual or dramatic.
Dunno, what kind of effect you are experiencing, sorry.

Cheers,
Heiner
