Subject: The problem I will never forget in my lifetime!!

Hi!


Position: 8;8;5K2;8;8;8;4Q3;7k white to play and mate in a maximum of twelve
moves without touching white's king.

To avoid any ambiguity about position, let me explain that there are ONLY three
pieces on the board!

White King  on f6
White Queen on e2
Black King  on h1


The only condition is White's king is untouchable.....meaning that you are not
allowed to move it! You are allowed to take help from any chess program except
Hiarcs.

I am sure you will enjoy this and show this to your friends as well! Above all
it is very hard to forget this as it is so simple to understand and remember but
difficult to solve!

I have not created this one but if my memory serves me right, this problem was
created by a computer of stone age!!!

Thanks.
