Leonid, I think we had exactly the same conversation before. I only got really
aware of it just now, after your question. It is mate in 15

The really nice CCC search engine of Andrei unfortunately does not work for
FENs. But in the end, one can find previous discussions about a position rather
easy nevertheless. Copy the FEN to the clipboard. Click on CCC search engine.
Paste the FEN to the "Enter search expression" field. Replace all "/" with
spaces. For that position, it will give the URL:

http://www.chess-archive.com/ccc.php?expr=6r1+2rp1kpp+2qQp3+p3Pp1P+1pP2P2+1P2KP2+P5R1+6R1&subject=&author=&email=&nr=50

(You might need to trim this to one line).

And you will see all previous discussions about this pos, where the pos was
mentioned as FEN (some interesting followowups may have snipped the pos, but you
can find those by clicking on "View Thread" after having selected one of the
found postings).

The later. A general chess program. But I tried to take care a bit, that it it
reliable in announced mate scores.

Dieter

PS. After I had tried to search for the above position, I saw messages by
"Paul". Where is he? He posted quite regualarily here; especially as answers to
your (Leonid) typical "easy mate" positions.
