This is very good hit! Very often I see that Chessmaster do well with selective
search.

Under different parameters (I don't know if move is the same), on identical
computer (Celeron 600Mhz, no hash, LLchess) mine found mate in 11 moves in 24
sec, 51 sec and 48 sec. This is what I see on description of position with the
time of each solution.

I speak only about selective search, since brute force will take much more time.
Mine looked only 10 moves by brute force to be sure that it is mate in 11.
Search in 10 moves took already 27 min and 19 sec.

Cheers,
Leonid.
