Well, to "get it" isn't any problem for Huntsman letting him go backward your line:

Didn't give much time to the engine started from empty hash at root, maybe it would make any DTM- output overnight yet too, but that's always the point with such positions using them for testing engines with, does any winning eval with a thematically correct (?) output- line count as solved or only the best DTM (if known at all for sure) with the full line to mate?

Gustav with 3 flights is only in depth 15 after half an hour, so I didn't let him go on trying from very starting position neither.
After first 10 moves with (from there onwards) 0 flights it gets the rest in about 3 minutes.

Well Peter, what I meant was no engine that I've tried finds the full solution from the root position, meaning that none that I've tried announces mate in 25 from the beginning position.

Looks like Crystallite 1.1a finds a mate in 21 on this one after about 4 hours and 11 minutes on my computer:

Well, to "get it" isn't any problem for Huntsman letting him go backward your line:

Didn't give much time to the engine started from empty hash at root, maybe it would make any DTM- output overnight yet too, but that's always the point with such positions using them for testing engines with, does any winning eval with a thematically correct (?) output- line count as solved or only the best DTM (if known at all for sure) with the full line to mate?

Gustav with 3 flights is only in depth 15 after half an hour, so I didn't let him go on trying from very starting position neither.
After first 10 moves with (from there onwards) 0 flights it gets the rest in about 3 minutes.

z4 means max. 4 black moves and aus1 = one exception?
With these parameters and f0 Gustav says no mate in 25 at my trial, regards
