Yes it was 12 hours. I had forgot to included the mating line and the 15 minutes was about up so I edited it, but when I saw this error it was too late to edit it yet again.

I don't think this is a fortress destruction. It seems to me it just changes the position in the EGTB and removes available tempi in blacks position. Although I'm not sure how important a role these extra tempi play in the loss.

OK, maybe something like "fortress avoidance" was a better term. :)

I have found that Aquarium IDeA search (4 times Stockfish 7 one thread) is pretty efficient in cracking the position. It showed +30.31 for 1.g6!, and 0.00 for 1.d6? after two hours.
