Very simple for Chessmaster (as well, I'm sure, for any other comp -- or did you
intend to have humans try to figure this out?):

Time	Depth	Score	Positions	Moves
0:00	2/3	Mate05	427		1.Be7 b5 2.Nd3+ b4 3.Bxb4+ Ka2
					4.Nc1+ Ka1 5.Bc3#
0:00	2/3	Mate04	791		1.Nd3+ Ka2 2.g8=Q b5 3.Nc1+ Ka1
					4.Bg7#
0:00	3/4	Mate04	1704		1.Nd3+ Ka2 2.g8=Q b5 3.Nc1+ Ka1
					4.Bg7#
0:00	3/4	Mate03	4652		1.g8=N b5 2.Ne7 Kxb4 3.Nc6#
0:00	4/5	Mate03	5621		1.g8=N b5 2.Ne7 Kxb4 3.Nc6#
