I'm hosting an engine tournament with 64 engines, 16 groups of 4, and a knockout after. This is a position from a group stage game between Berserk (playing white) and Laser (playing black). Berserk had mate in 9 here and found it. Can you?

A few mistakes after move 3, but I got there. I kept thinking I had to find a way to block or deflect the Black Queen, instead of thinking of pinning the bishop.

Very nice!
