BIG LIE! Today I went to the same position and wanted to even improve my result
by solving it under much milder conditions. It is when my yesterday mistake
became obvious. I tried wrong position. Problem was that, usually, each mate
position goes to hard disk just with one move in it. This had few. Missing this
fact I had my ZERO seconds instead of real 8 MIN and 19 SEC. When I found this,
I laughed for a good while. Each time when certain result goes exactly with what
you expect then ideal time arrive to commit some mistake.

Cheers,
Leonid.
