I really thought maybe my TB set was broken somehow since nobody had mentioned
other moves than Kxf4. :)

There are other lines that can be played after Kf5, as well for all the other
possible first moves.  I'm interested to know if any of them is ultimately
better (in light of the 50-move rule) than Kxf4.

Thanks!
