Ok :-) I see your "P" means the knight. There's trouble with the notation
language (T=R etc.) PGN would be preferable... I did some search & replace in a
text editor and then I could import the main variant.

[Event "CCC"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2005.05.08"]
[Round "?"]
[White "?"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "1-0"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "r3k2r/1q1nbp1p/p2pp1p1/1p2P3/1P1NN3/P6Q/2P3PP/4RR1K w - - 0 1"]
[PlyCount "25"]

1. Rxf7 Kd8 2. exd6 Kc8 3. Qc3+ Kb8 4. Nc6+ Qxc6 5. Qxc6 Ra7 6. Nc5 Nxc5 7.
dxe7 Nd7 8. Rxe6 Re8 9. Rf8 Nf6 10. Rxe8+ Nxe8 11. Qxe8+ Kc7 12. Qd8+ Kb7 13.
Rb6# 1-0

I didn't analyse it completely, but it seems that there are other alternatives
in Black's 2nd move (in addition to 2...Qd5), like 2...h5, 2...Bg4 and others.
Maybe one of these delays the mate to the 14th move?
