Ok, now you are pulling our (collective) leg. I take it possibly one given GM
missed it, probably because he only looked at it for a few seconds or something.
Or are you making that up?

Your statement above "Not a lot of GM's were able to solve this" has to be false
unless "Not a lot of GM's have ever seen the position" or somesuch.

Come on! Let us in on the joke.
