One of the few times, I can beat you. After almost exactly 8 minutes of
interactive analysis (theat really did not need any chess knowledge at all) I
got with no TBs/bitbases a forced mate:

       244   0.010  Mat22 14.  1...Kxf4 2.Rb2 Rd2+ 3.Rxd2 Bxd2 4.Kf2 Ba5 5.Kg2
                               Ke3 6.Kh1 Kf2 7.Kh2 Bb4 8.Kh1 Kg3 9.Kg1 Kxh3
                               10.Kf1 Kxg4 {510}
       245   0.010  Mat22 15t  1...Kxf4 2.Rb2 Rd2+H 3.Rxd2H Bxd2H 4.Kf2H Ba5H
                               5.Kg2H Ke3H 6.Kh1H Kf2H 7.Kh2H Bb4H 8.Kh1H Kg3H
                               9.Kg1H Kxh3H 10.Kf1H Kxg4H {510}
   2807919   1.743  Mat22 15.  1...Kxf4 2.Rb2 Rd2+ 3.Rxd2 Bxd2 4.Kf2 Ba5 5.Kg2
                               Ke3 6.Kh1 Kf2 7.Kh2 Bb4 8.Kh1 Kg3 9.Kg1 Kxh3
                               10.Kf1 Kxg4 {510}

PV may be garbage.
