From YOUR OWN posting:

1.Qd3+ f5 2.Qxg3+
  +-  (#14)   Depth: 16/16   00:00:01  247kN
1.Qd3+ f5 2.Qxg3+ Kf6 3.Qd6+ Kg5 4.Rh5+ Kxh5 5.Qxd2
  +-  (#11)   Depth: 17/18   00:00:02  596kN

Depth 16: #14 -> correct
Depth 17: #11 -> wrong

Would you please accept that we have a problem here :-))

Yours truly Paul J. Sacral
