Bg6#) This can be solved easily by extending every stupid check that is not first check by almost 2 plies. If I tell movei to do it and it means adding almost 1/2 ply check extensions to checks that are not first check then it can solve it at depth 4 after 87918 nodes that means less than one second. Note that in that case it does not see mate in 10 but longer mate(mate in 14) Here is the analysis 1 264 0 142 e5f6 g7f6 2 294 0 283 e5f6 2 294 2 4239 e5f6 3 231 2 4753 e5f6 g8f6 f5e6 d7e6 3 231 8 20161 e5f6 g8f6 f5e6 d7e6 4 183 10 24832 e5f6 g8f6 b3e6 d7e6 f5e6 e8e6 4 184 29 74278 e2h5 4 213 29 74436 e2h5 4 9973 35 87918 e2h5 f6h5 f5e6 f7g6 b3c2 g6g5 f1f5 g5g6 f5f6 g6g5 h2h4 g5h4 e1e 4 h5f4 e4f4 h4g5 f6f5 g5g6 f4g4 g6h7 g4g7 h7h8 g7h7 h8h7 f5f7 h7h8 f7h7 4 9973 35 87958 e2h5 f6h5 f5e6 f7g6 b3c2 g6g5 f1f5 g5g6 f5f6 g6g5 h2h4 g5h4 e1e 4 h5f4 e4f4 h4g5 f6f5 g5g6 f4g4 g6h7 g4g7 h7h8 g7h7 h8h7 f5f7 h7h8 f7h7 Uri
