I discovered that both Tiger 14.0 and Hiarcs 8 can perform this mate, but
Chessmaster 8000 can only do it sometimes because it got lucky as it don't
approach with it's king the way it should. Now it might be able to do it in a
longer time control as i was only allowing it about 20-30 seconds.

Both Tiger and Hiarcs used the proper technic to perform it correctly in this
rather short time period!

What other programs can mate with only your Queen against a Rook with in the
50-move rule and not using either the 4,or 5 man endgame tablebases?

Regards,
