After analyzing some lines I am thinking that there is a shorter way.

Note that when computers say mate in 20 they usually do not mean that the
expected number of moves to win is 20 moves but only that there is a mate in 20
moves or shorter.

When I say that I am thinking that there is a shorter mate than 20 moves I do
not mean even to say that I proved mate in 20 moves but only that it is my
evaluation function based on some few lines that I searched.
