Crafty finds it quickly, loses it, then comes back to it again:

waiting a little longer finds

               17     7:43   1.95   1. Nd4 Qc5 2. R1e6 Rb7 3. Rxb7 Nxb7
                                    4. Rc6 Qe7 5. Rc7 Qd6 6. Nc6 Qxf4 7.

                                    Rxd6 Rxd6 11. Nxc8 (s=4)

as even better, still with the same theme and although the first two white moves
are transposed, Nd4 gets in without the rook being ripped first...
