Heiner,

My apologies.  I'm not sure exactly what mistake I made.

Checking the starting position, and running MacChess 5.0.1 on my old 250MHz Mac
PowerBook G3 again, it finds the following Mate in 9, which has the same key
move as the first of your solutions.

1. cxd8+ Qxd8 2. Rxc6+ Qxc6 3. Qe6+ Qgxe6 4. Ned6+ Qexd6 5. Nxd6+ Rxd6 6. Qef5+
Rd7 7. Qxd8+ Kb7 8. Qb6+ Kc8 9. Re8#

The point is, that although MacChess 5.0.1 is an old free program, no longer
under development, it is surprisingly effective at solving classical mate in n
problems.
