Yace, Centrino, 1.7 GHz, 3/4/5 men TBs, bitbases, 600 MB hash, TB probing set to
aggressive (tb_u 4 in conosóle/WB mode) shows mate in 19 in 1:37 and mate in 18
after 4 minutes with a nice PV.

For normal games, setting TB probing to aggressive is probably a bad idea. To
find a forced mate in endgame positions, it is often a good idea. It would
easily win the position with default settings, but probably need much longer to
show the mate.
