I use Shredder Clasic GUI. But perhaps you misunderstood. There is no way, Yace
can find this mate. It can only show, that it is a forced mate, when feeded with
the PGN and analysing this from back to front. This includes the variations. For
example, it will see some long mate soon, when going just back. But then, it
will choose to lose 2 tempi at once with a pawn move for black. Then I had to
show it the same tempo game again (shown in the variation). When you start at
the end of that variation, and go back slowly, it will see, that actually the
mate will be faster, and chose the old move from the mainline.
