Hi,

another not-so-trivial is

WAC 213

[D]3r1r1k/1b4pp/ppn1p3/4Pp1R/Pn5P/3P4/4QP2/1qB1NKR1 w - - bm Rxh7+



How long does it take your program and the top to see that Rxh7+ is a mate in 15
( at least thats what Sunsetter says ) ?

This is IMHO especially interesting since it partly is a design decission. Rxh7
is easily proven a draw. As long as the other moves are not searched to be
better (the next best Rxg7 is only a draw indeed I think) for some algorithms it
makes sense not to look how good Rxh7+ really is.

Regards,

Georg
