Ah, I see, I knew I had seen it sometimes somewhere before.

Gustav is better, 12 minutes.

Best.
Thank you very much! Just looking at the number of nodes and the speed I was getting, it would have taken around 18 or 20 hours in my PC, if not more, so totally unfeasible for me, who do not like overnight runs.

No comments on Gustav, the solution time is enough.

Regards from Spain.

Mate- field h7 was a mistake too, shorter mates of course can happen on other fields too.
