Crafty 18.15 has found 14 solutions within 1 minute, too (on Athlon@1.2 GHz).
Dann's version of 18.14 has found 14 at P3/700 MHz, too.

Yes, I looked at it while creating the Quicktest :o)). It's also commented in
the PGN data (in german though). That's an addintional reason why Rg8 is
difficult: because Rd8-d1-h1 is very strong, and winning already. But Rg8 is
faster. Like Tarrasch said, if you've found a good move, search if there isn't
an even better one...
