Bb5!

from the game off the month: and I quote: "...none of the engines play this..." current dev SF fins this almost instantly and after a deeper search:

Qh5!

quote: "Good news here for C3.0 purchasers, the new program finds the move in only 2:08 and actually shows mate in 2:05"

latest SF finds mate in 10 in less than 5 seconds:

info depth 26 seldepth 50 multipv 1 score mate 10 nodes 154438333 nps 31466653 hashfull 885 tbhits 5022 time 4908 pv e2h5 f6h5 f5e6 f7g6 b3c2 g6g5 f1f5 g5g6 f5f6 g6g5 f6g6 g5h4 e1e4 h5f4 e4f4 h4h5 g2g3 e8e6 f4h4 - by the way ,that is exactly how Alekhine played it to get the mate-in-10- so kudos to the late World Champion
