No The defender could defend better and chest that find the shortest mate found longer mate after better move of the defender. If chest say mate in 8 after 70.Kd5 and mate in 7 after 70.Kd7 then it means that there is no mate in 7 after 70.Kd5 and it is obvious that her mate was one move longer in case that the human opponent played 70.Kd5 and accepting the rest of the condition. It was not important for the opponent to contradict the condition because the number of moves that he is losing was not important for him but she certainly did not prove mate in 35. >The defender 'could' you say? >Ahhh but he didn't did he? If I play against weak player then I can say mate in 70 in the opening position with white and give him a condition that he cannot refute. My condition can begine with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Qh4 and of course the opponent may try to improve with black but he is going to get mated in less than 70 moves because of blunders that he is going to play later.
