If it avoids hxg4 it does so because it sees the loss.  However, bring it to
ICC and let a couple of experts on this trojan horse attack try it.  They are
very good at constructing positions where the program _can't_ see the loss
in any reasonable time limit.  They did it to me several times as I was working
on the anti-trojan code currently in Crafty.  If the program relies on search to
avoid taking the piece, it _will_ lose games to this attack when they are set
up right.  The program has to know that it simply can't take, period, and once
it ignores the piece, things might work out fine for it.  But it has to _know_
or it is going to have horrendous horizon problems in such positions.
