Up to now it is only Your program that was able to find mate on this position
and at very good time.

Mine was able to find mate only with selective search and 13 moves deep. I do
not know exact depth of this position. Since somebody already indicated that it
not contain mate in 11, it can be only mate in 12 or 13.

Cheers,
Leonid.
