It is probably mate in 15 (certainly not longer). The "#" in Shredder's PV is an
artefact of how Shredder is exactly searching - he certainly has reasons, to
show such a PV. From the score, you can see, that Shredder did not really find a
mate (it will be very difficult, to announce a mate in this position). 1...Qc7
is not the best defence. The thread is further down - look for "Daniel" when you
set up the Filter for 7 days.
