This is a copy of that same Diagram, adapted to play according to the 'modern' rules. (I.e. where generals can jump-capture the King, and the FD has a vertical move.) Just to test how long it needs to seet that after 1.j6 there is a mate threat.

[Edit] Not bad! After fixing a bug in scoring the loss of a piece making a kamikaze move, it plays 1... SEn11 in reply to 1. j6 even at the default setting of 2.5 ply. And it takes 47 sec on my PC to play that move.
