Subject: engines can't find mate in 3 in chessbase 8

Author: Tony Nichols

I was looking at a study in chessbase 8 that is a mate in three. Unable to solve
it myself I fired up Shredder 8. To my surprise Shredder claimed it was a mate
in 5!? Deep Fritz 8 also said mate in 5. When I played the key move both engines
saw the mate in 2! Other engines found the mate in 3 immediately(Hiarcs 9, Chess
Tiger 15, Gambit Tiger 2.0, Crafty 19.17 etc.). If someone would tell me how to
post the position I will. Has anyone else had similiar problems?
Regards
Tony
