Here's another study from my Quicktest, by Von Witonsti (1913). It doesn't have so much "features" like the other one though, which was by Balasz (1934). [D]1n1r1rk1/ppq2ppp/3p2b1/3B1NP1/4PB1R/bP2P2P/P1P5/3KQ1R1 w - - bm Qc3; id Quick-01; I've tested The King 3.12d Selektive Search=10 (32 MB hash), and it's quite fast here compared to some othere engines (as usual in mate combinations). Fastest in my tests was Little Goliath 3.5c UCI, in this position. I think the solution is especially difficult because of a "silent" 5th move in between, and in the 6th move white must sac another piece, but it's not a checking move. It's the most difficult in that test suite. Regards, M.Scheidl P.S.
