Subject: Re: Shortest mate that programs cannot find or take long time

Go up one level in this thread


Playing programs are not usually programmed to find the shortest mate. Once they
find a forced mate, any mate, they often stop analysing altogether. And the mate
that is found first will not necessarily be the shortest. If you want to find
the shortest forced mate in a position or alternative mates you need a dedicated
mate-solving engine.
