what, how, where and when?

I guess you're not capable of reading foreign grammar well.

this is the first position where mating the opponent directly is not the
solution to solving the position.

In case people are wondering why most engines are positional so stupid, they
should simply look objectively to the positions the CCC droids want to solve.

>This is a highly tactical position.

The bxc4 move sure is. It isn't a boring "put your opponent mate in X moves"
question though.

>White is better in all lines.

Not at all. if you don't play bxc4 you might lose this game...

Also it was one day relevant for openingstheory a lot.
