This position was printed some time ago in the CSS-magazine and was originally
intended as a mate in 15, but has been found to be incorrect. So it was changed
slightly (black knight re-positioned a bit) to the following position:

[D]8/3P3k/n2K3p/2p1n3/1b4N1/2p1p1P1/8/3B4 w - -

It´s now actually a #15, which is found by ChestUCI with the following settings:
C0/R-5/K7/P7/X23

Regards,
Franz.
