If you found the solution instantly, that's pretty fast!! ;) Mine took
27 seconds on a P2 400MHz, and that's with special extension settings.

But I remember that your move ordering is a little different from what
most of 'us' do. You look at checking moves first, right? Anyway, it's
quite impressive, Leonid!
