What's your point then?  I do this type of move against a human player, there
reason why I do such thing is that the human player is too stubborn to resign,
hence, he is asking for humiliation, and wants to take a long beating. So why
not!!!!  I find playing against this type of position against a human player who
does not want to resign in a totally hopeless position, then he deserves to be
torture to a slow death.  I approve Hiarcs move, it still mates the opponent in
25 moves.  A mate is a mate no matter how many moves. A win is a win.
