Thanks! I only run this position 9 moves deep and it already took one hour and
half. Without hash and on my slow computer it could take the next 7 hours, if
branching factor will not jump there. Now I know that mate at ten is not there.

Position have for sure solution in 13 moves. This is what I see on this position
that was solved there by selective search.

Cheers,
Leonid.
