hi, so it's alright(...) that it takes so long to find the mate? I thought that
this is some bug of my search that i can finish depth 9 with winning score in 3
seconds and then depth 10 with mate score in 45 seconds. Although I extend only
1/2 ply for threat extension, here along with check extension it seems to blow
up the search. :)
