Mind blowing forced checkmate position, mate in 15

Sort:
hp3541
No matter what you do, the checkmate is just inevitable
I did alot of work finding this position, i hope it gets popular

Cool puzzle, but I'm not sure it's a forced checkmate

My Stockfish (single net) first found it in 2 seconds.

Started off as 0.00 right away then went to #15.

Then when I removed the kibitzer and reloaded it, then it took over 10 seconds for some reason.

Seems to keep finding it at different depths each time.

One was 50/15, another took up to depth 68.

Something funky about the position messing with the training algo.

Tried the dual net version and it found it anywhere between half a second, to 5 seconds of searching.

What version of stockfish are you using? I use a regular downloaded UCI version and core i9 14900K CPU.

Web versions will not work reliably. They are limited by cloud searching (technical reasons for this were discussed quite awhile back, including in some threads were obvious blunders were made, which was caused again by cloud limitations (which was later patched).

Using a downloaded LOCAL version of Stockfish 16, It announced mate in 15 in 2 seconds on my computer: If the photo is too small to read just right-click on it and then choose "open image in new tab".
