This one is from a game Kmoch-Nimzowitsch, 1927.
The solution is:
49... Rb4 $3 50. cxb4 a4 $1 51. b5+ Kxb5 52. Ba3 c3 53. Rb1 Kc4 54. f4 Kxd4 55.
Kf2 Kc4 56. Ke1 d4 57. Ke2 Kd5 58. Kf3 Bb7 59. Re1 Kc4+ 60. Kf2 b2 61. f5 exf5
62. e6 Bc6 0-1

This position is also part of the Bednorz-Schumacher bs2001 test suite. A suite
which is much more difficult and interesting than the wac suite.
However, chances are low to solve 90+ prozent of the positions with current
programs and to come out with different solutions.
It's more 'fun' to run your program against wac - your program will look better,
whatever you do.
But if anybody who hasn't got the positions is interested, I add the suite in
epd hoping to end discussion of dump wac.
Kind regards
Bobby Fischer
