It's a part of a Study by Mihai Neghina (Romania), and only Kf4 or Ke4 leads to a shorter matt (31#)

Old Kaissa, Kaissa I, can find that it is a win on its own, without having to go forward in the analysis. But for unknown reasons I have not been able to duplicate that with recent Stockfish yet. And it has trouble resolving the large score to mate score, I don't think it can do it, may have hit a search explosion or the GUI stopped responding after several hours of no new output. No tablebases.

No new output in about ten hours now.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
