Hello:

The position is a checkmate in 12 moves and you are searching up to 10 moves. You need to raise the search depth of Chest to 12 or more because Chest starts searching 1 depth, then 2 and so on. If you only search up to 10 moves, Chest finishes its analysis before solving this longer-than-10-move probem.

Regards from Spain.
