Hi Rob,

I´ve tried it for some minutes with ChestUCI in brute-force mode:
definitely no mate in 7, probably not even in 8 (all ´interesting´ moves
have already been tested) -
so if this is a mate at all, then certainly higher than 8!

But since not even TheKing sees something like that, I doubt about it!

Regards,
Franz.
