The post of Dann already said mate in 9

Here is the content of the post and dm 9 means distance to mate 9

"2r3k1/5ppp/7r/Q7/3P1p2/1N3Pnq/PP3K1P/R5R1 b - - acd 10; acn 535351375; acs
15279; bm Ne4+; ce 32750; dm 9; id "C.A.P. 812153"; pv Ne4+ fxe4 Qe3+ Kf1 Rxh2
Rxg7+ Kxg7 Qe5+ f6 Qe7+ Kg6 Qxf6+ Kxf6 e5+ Kg6 e6 Qf2#;

I will be amazed if any general purpose program (or even most GM's) can find
it."

Note that Rybka did not find the mate in 9 moves so rybka did not find what Dann
asked to find.
