mate in N: UCI engines like Stockfish report that number in full moves. I believe Sunsetter reports it in plies. I am not sure if that's what Winboard engines are supposed to do or not. We should find out and adjust either Sunsetter

In CECP protocol, section 10 thinking output,

Mate scores should be indicated as 100000 + N for "mate in N moves", and -100000 - N for "mated in N moves".
