Subject: Interesting test position

Here's an interesting test position.  This happened in a game on ICC
tonite between Crafty and a human player (actually Halcion running
Crafty if you try to find the game.)

In this position, Bxe7 seems pretty natural, tactically.  See if your
program can find out in time that it is bad.  This was a blitz game
and Crafty didn't.  Bxe7 fails to Nc4, although Crafty sees the entire
line almost instantly, there is a tiny flaw at the end that makes this
fall apart completely.

here's the fen:

2r3k/ppq1ppbp/3nb1p1/4p1B1/6P1/1NP2P2/PP1Q3P/K2R3R w - -

to avoid losing this game, you'd have to play this in 10 seconds or
so, as it was a 5 0 game I believe...  I certainly can't do it...
