Manfred, you are using an UCI interface. You could try to set extensions to
"aggressive". It can be helpful in this and other mate finding positions. Non
UCI-users of Yace can type (or put it to yace.ini):

irec 1
irep 1

Then Yace will find it rather fast (Yace 0.99.56, P4, 2.53 Ghz):

This problem is rather suited to the extensions used in Yace, because the mate
is not from any (intermediate - in the search tree) position with a big material
advantage.

Cheers,
Dieter
