actually I should thank you for bringing this up. just fixed a bug I introduced recently where Cheng failed to resolve the mate. it takes very long but still.
You are welcome, the composer said it is mate in 12 if Black chose Rook a6+, but most engines chose Rg8 giving up the Rook and it does take much longer to solve f7 Rg8 Bb2+ Kh7 fxg8Q+ Kxg8 Ne7+ Kh7 Nxc8 having a Bishop + Knight versus Black lonely King :lol:
