Hmmm..I failed to take into account 9.Rg3, which is niether a check or a
capture, but a _quiet move_ and that is why the Mach III program, even with a
32bit processor at 20mgh failed to solve the mate quickly. It could take hours!

If every move had been a check it would have been solved fast.
I thought about this after I replied to Rob, but waited for a reply to see.

Thanks Steve,
 Terry
