This position, which is a mate in three (1.Qxb7+ Qxb7 2.Qxb7+ Qxb7 3.Qxb7#) takes Stockfish forever to analyze. Why is this so?
Which position?

These are not chess positions. Not at all.
illegal positions
While positions are illegal, I'd be impressed if anyone could figure this one out!
Lol
Exactly. They're illegal positions, so why can't Stockfish solve them?
