"Spassky´s famous loss!He played 1.Qf8+ Kf6 2.Re8 but after
2...Re6 3.Qh8+ Kf5 4.Qh6 Kf6 White has no more than a draw.
Chekhover subsequently pointed out what had been missed by
both players --- 1.g4! to use his pawns to take vital squares
off the enemy king." Can the chess programs find this move? JAFM
