I like moves like this one. My program finds it but it takes 64 seconds on
my PIII-450. There doesn't seem to be any huge tactical gain that my program
can find. I ran it for 600 seconds, but it couldn't finish ply 11 in that time:

 8= 32    20    906282   1. a3 e5 2. b3 Qc7 3. gxf7 Rxf7 4. Nde2 Qa5 5. Nb1

How long did Bringer take to see this? On what HW?
