About Chest. On my computer (XP2400+) Chest finishes searching b8=Q in about 1 minute at D=8. I believe at this point Chest has proven that it is a mate in 8 but Chest continues to search for alternate solutions through the end of the move list (54 moves). This takes the extra time. Many chess playing engines will stop searching as soon as they find a mate even if it's not the shortest mate. Jim
