Crafty see a mates-in-12 with Rxe6.

   12     2:33  Mat12   1. Rxe6+ fxe6 2. Rd1 Nhf6 3. Rxd7+
                        Nxd7 4. Qd6+ Kd8 5. Ng5 hxg5 6. Bxg5+
                        Ke8 7. Nc7+ Kf7 8. Qxd7+ Ne7 9. Qxe7+
                        Kg8 10. Qe8+ Kg7 11. Nxe6+ Kh7 12.
                        Qf7#

but I see from the other posts there are shorter mates.
