Just for further information, I ran it through Crafty on 5 sec/move
analysis and it finds it right away. It also finds forced mates that I
missed every few moves after that (as embarrassing as that is, but hey I
was having time trouble!)

This is what I'd like to get from the annotate option in Scid. Is this
possible?
Thanks,
