Re: Mat in 16
I wonder, does finding the quickest mate even matter in this position? Barring a major blunder, the position is won.
Octochess finds Rxc8 after 4 seconds, with a score advantage of more than 9cp, slowly increasing with every additional ply. First mate score appears after around 3.5 minutes, with no more than 49 plies to mate.
