Gambit Tiger finds this difficult. I did not let it run for more than 2 minutes,
since I solved it myself faster. I don't think programmers should be troubled
that their programs can't solve this, since it is difficult for programs only
because of the depth required. I think there is little practical value for
programs to be able to solve this.
