  White to move and make it for the draw. Normal play like 1.Rf5? Kg6!
  2.Rxe5 Rh8! followed by Rh2 gives the full point to black. 1.Re6? makes
  no difference after 1.-Rh8! But the pawnchain carries some hidden secrets...
  To be honest, this is more a test of one's own limitations of the mind.
  I think it's too difficult for any chessprogram (but who knows?. Then
  again, it's possible to test the programs when 1/3,1/2 or 2/3 of the
  solution is performed. A human can solve it by trial and error. If
  normal play doesn't work, one is forced to think in new patterns...
