Chest (Athlon 1500+, 128MB hash) confirms this in 56.21 secs:
PV: Nxe6+ Qgxe6 Bg7+ Bxg7 Qbxf5+ Bf6 Nxf6+ Qaxc8 Nh7+ Ke8 d7+ Kd8 dxc8=Q+ Kxc8
Qfc7+ Qxc7 Qxc7#
Nxe6+ Qgxe6 Bg7+ Bxg7 Qbxf5+ ...+6
Qxg7 Qbxf5+ ...+3
Qexe6 Be7+ =*= dxe7+ ...+5
Qfxe6 Bg7#
It is so easy/fast, because black has mating resources, too, like Rxg2#.

Chest is still running for depth 11, but after 3478 secs has already reported
that there is no mate in 10. So, we are already sure, that 11 is minimal
depth.
