I have found another example. I don't think that many programs will play Rxf5+
here, although they cannot be called really stupid in this case... but the
solution looks easy - if you know it, as usual:
[D]8/2p5/p1P1p3/P3kb2/1P4pp/8/5R2/7K w - -
[Event "CSS 4/99 (Bednorz/Thiele)"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1879.01.01"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Solovtsov"]
[Black "(study)"]
[Result "1-0"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "8/2p5/p1P1p3/P3kb2/1P4pp/8/5R2/7K w - -"]
1. Rxf5+ exf5 2. b5 Kd6 3. bxa6 Kxc6 4. Kh2 f4 5. Kg1
{A human player may see in the diagram position already,
that the 3 black pawns can't harm white's king now, and are
going to be captured due to zugzwang. After that, black's
king has to move and the a-pawn can promote.} 1-0
