Here is a possible mate in 9 position based on the ideas in the previous post and I wonder if there is a chess program that can see the mate in a reasonable time.

Edit:if it is too easy for your program try the following mate in 10

[d]k2b3b/8/2N2b2/6b1/1b6/b7/3b2K1/b1b2B1n w - - 0 1

In this case try this trivial mate in 7 that I composed
