Go up one level in this thread


Yes, It is beautiful! Fritz5.32 and Junior5 do not solve this. (or solve it
quickly enough for our taste anyway).  I put it on the King engine in
TASCBASE2.0 (very simular engine to CM5500-CM6000).  It finds the solution in
about 2 seconds.  Obviously, the De Konig engine has some unique search
extensions for mate positons in its root search that allow it to find beautiful
mates like this.  Remember how quicky it solved the Shirov Mate problem?

r1b2r2/3pNpkp/3pn1p1/2pN3P/2PnP3/q3QP2/4BKP1/1R5R w - - 0 1


Solution: 1.Qh6+ Kh6 2.hxg6+ Kg5 3.Rh5+ Kxh5 4.f4+ Qf3 5.Bxf3 (or, 5...Nxf3
6.Nf6+ Kh6 7.Rh1+ Nh2 8.Rxh2+ Kg7 9.Ne8+ Rxe8 10.Rxh7+ Kf6 11.Rxf7#)  Kh6 6.Rh1+
Kg7 7.Rxh7#

Pretty cool I admit.
