Subject: How Many Ply Needed To See This?

Hello,

Here's a position which I'm sure won't tax your pet program one bit.  My program
takes 13 ply to see the full negative consequences of Black's next move, Qe8-a4,
which I think is more than it should be.  If anyone wouldn't mind running this
position on a program and letting me know how many plies it takes I'd much
appreciate it, thanks.  The idea is to force the move Qe8-a4 and wait for a
substantial fail low.  At the moment I'm just running check and re-capture
extensions.  Do you think that extensions for a single legal move could make a
difference here?

Thanks,

Mike.
