Impressive as always. It is even at least a mate in 10 - perhaps something for
the Chest fans. After some backwards analysis with Yace I get:

     6946   0.180  Mat10 13.  40.Qxe7 Nf6 41.Bxf6 d4+ 42.Rf3 Rxf6 43.Qxf6 Qd6
                              44.Re5 Bd8 45.Qf7+ Kh8 46.e7 Qxe7 47.Rxe7 Bxe7
                              48.Qxe7 Kg8 49.Rf8# {1851}

In the line of CM, 46. Rf8 instead of Qf6+:

5195   0.090  Mat04 13.  46.Rf8 hxg4 47.Rxe8 gxh3+ 48.Kxh3 Kh6 49.Qxg6#

(The Qf6 line has four checks, the Rf8 line only two - so no big surprise, when
engines find it faster.)

Dieter
