All my engines have trouble with this position, but most other engines I plug it into solve it without breaking a sweat. Usually right at the 11 ply mark. Even way passed the 11 ply mark my engines still don't see the mating line.
It seems likely the quiet Ne4 move in the middle of the mating line is the problem. All the other moves are captures or checks so they don't get reduced by LMR and qsearch should also consider them. But even when I turn LMR off it I have the problem.
If your engine, or an engine you know well, can solve this position quickly do you know why? Inversely, if your engine has trouble with this position too, do you know why?

I'm pretty sure it is related to null move. I bet your engine finds out fast with our having a null move. You might to add some conditions as to when or when not to use null move and for how long.

Looking at the PV, I think it's to do with checks in first ply of the qsearch, which are extended when there is only one reply

Re: Test position
Fischerle 0.9.61 64-bit with 256MB TT finds M7 at nominal depth 10, visiting 523k nodes. With nullmove pruning disabled, M7 is still found at depth 10, while visiting considerably more nodes (2686k).zd3nik wrote:[d] 1k2r2r/pbb2p2/2qn2p1/8/PP6/2P2N2/1Q2NPB1/R4RK1 b - - bm Qxf3; c0 "M7"; id "CCC-I No.10";
All my engines have trouble with this position, but most other engines I plug it into solve it without breaking a sweat. Usually right at the 11 ply mark. Even way passed the 11 ply mark my engines still don't see the mating line.
It seems likely the quiet Ne4 move in the middle of the mating line is the problem. All the other moves are captures or checks so they don't get reduced by LMR and qsearch should also consider them. But even when I turn LMR off it I have the problem.
If your engine, or an engine you know well, can solve this position quickly do you know why? Inversely, if your engine has trouble with this position too, do you know why?

Re: Test position
Hakkapeliitta finds the mate at depth 17. This rather large number is explained by the fact that Hakkapeliitta has no extensions.

Functional programming combines the flexibility and power of abstract mathematics with the intuitive clarity of abstract mathematics.

Re: Test position
PS: I have just re-run Fischerle 0.9.61 64-Bit on this position with all extensions and reductions switched of. Even then and somewhat surprising, it founds mate fairly quickly, i.e. in a couple of seconds at nominal depth 12. Thus, it looks like whether the position isn't really malign in a general sense. No idea why your engines have problems with this position - maybe indeed a rather deep issue with your particular blend of restrictions and extensions.
