My solver got the following 48 step solution to your layout.
Is there a standard game nuimber associated with this layout?
My solver and how to input layouts to it is explained in
Michael Keller's FAQ page. See the question "what are some
other programs that allow you to play FreeCell?"

PS - don't worry about the parameters in the bracketts, just copy a set
from some valid program output. Be sure that all cards appear once
and only once in any layout you input, or funny things might happen.
The above layout can be copied and pasted into the program so that
you can play around with it. Notice that the card layout to and from
our program has the cards in columns the way you play them, not
transposed into rows.

Subject: fc-solve parameters
Following up on your discussion of parameters, when I set the
following --freecells-num 0 --empty-stacks-filled-by kings --sequence-
move unlimited and entered this board
8S 2H 9S 6D 5C 7S 8H
JC 2S 5H 7D TC 4D 2C
KC KH 4C 5S AC 3D 9C

fc-solve could not solve this game.
This is a board I could solve on my own using Freecell Wizard, an
extension of Pretty Good Solitaire which allows you to set your own
parameters.
It looks to me that fc-solve is not setting the sequence-move to
unlimited- you get the same result when sequence-move is limited.
I do know that the sequence-move unlimited parameter works if the
empty-stacks parameter is not used ( or same as filled-by all ).
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
