These are times at infinite and the mate-in-7 levels.

Genius 68030: 7s 7s
Sapphire II: 1:50* 3:42
Cosmos: 3:00* 7:30
Milano: >30m (d11) 16:08
EAG: >30m (d11)

Interestingly, the Sapphire and Cosmos must have an underpromotion bug. At normal time controls, they instantly announce mate in 2! The times given with * are for the position after the underpromotion to a knight. They don't have the same problem for the mate levels.

Four Knights defence regards,
Ian

In Preparation for game four tomorrow..

R30 finds the mate in 27 seconds

setting up the position for the R30 was a bit of a hassle
it is a piece recognition board and i needed 3 black Knights!
thankfully i have 3 other Tasc piece sets

Ready To Rock Regards
Steve
