Hi Omid,

if you want really correct (and the shortest) solutions to mate problems,
you better should use a mate solve as Chest/ChestUCI. ;-)

Here´s the solution by ChestUCI Ver.2.3:
(about 3 min on my slow Celeron/400, so surely much less
than 1 min on fast computers of today)

The latest 2 lines are the ´longest´ mates, so the solution has duals.
Of course you´ll have to set the option ´DefenderMoves´ in ChestUCI,
because it´s a mate for WHITE (after every move of black)!

Best regards,
Franz.
