I wonder if the Mach III can spot mate?
If yours is not
tucked away like mine, maybe you can check it?

Hi Terry...
Sorry, I sold my MACH III on ebay 2 or 3 years ago...
However, From the tests I have made with it, I really doubt that it would see a mate in 13...
maybe in 100 years...
But of course, i could be wrong......i have been wrong before..

Tested some PDA programs and most got Rxf6 in a short time but still thought White was losing.Eventually Toga ll 1.2.1a got the mate in 13 after 2min and 35 seconds.So even if a program finds Rxf6 does not mean it can see the wiining contination after that.

I was certain you were using one in your test positions?!
I'll have to test it myself eventually.
