Right, do not have the patch. Cound be coincidental, but seemed like i had
operational problems when i did have it last year.  CM55 will only give the
moves to mate after the move is forced, then it says mate in X at the bottom of
the board.  Correct again, do not remember the exact 99.xx eval in either
program, never could figure out what the xx meant :(  For the 55 , forced the
move when the 99.xx eval first appeared in ply 14, it said mate in 13 at the
bottom of the board.  Restarted the problem, tried at first ply 15, same thing,
but restarted than when forced at the first ply 16, it said mate in 11.
To get the game status clock running,  set the board up with black to move to
the starting position of the puzzle, in this case  set the Q on f8, and when
moved to d8 the white clock started running.  Is there a place
or way that cm8k displays the number of moves to mate ?
