Hi, Heiner! It is pleasure to see You coming back.

Since I spoke to You last time, I still never went back to my programming. Lack
of time, money and exciting 64 bits chip that never come are the only exuses
that I am able to see.

The same for me. This position is not very easy but You was practically there.
It is mate in 11 moves.

Your program did much better that mine between 9 and 10 moves. There my program
just became wild.

I did expected that somebody will come with selective solution, since mine (in
11 moves) was pretty slow. Usually I try to find position that is well populated
but still is very quick for selective. There is actually nobody beyond You and
Your program, that ever came with solution for my position.

Cheers,
Leonid.
