I am interested to see your mate in 4 if white plays
Rg3 or Rg4 and not 83.Kb4

I do not believe that the position is mate in 9.

You should not believe chess programs about the
number of moves to mate because if they do not have
the name chessmaster or yace or crafty they may say
a number that is smaller than the real number.
