This is old swedish chess history. The above position happened in a game
between Bergkvist and Stolz, Stockholm 1941. White is in deep trouble.
Knight moves to a1 or c2 will just lose the lonely one. But the knight
has a more brave possibility! 1.Na5!! actually saved the draw for white.
After 1.-bxa5 2.bxa5 black has the wrong bishop and white's king can just
make it to a1, if black goes for both the white a-pawns.
The game went like this: 1.Na5!! Kd3 2.Kf6 Kc3 3.Ke5 Bg2 4.Kd6 b5 5.Kc5 Kb2
6.Kb6 Kxa3 7.Kxa6 ½-½
Test: This is a difficult one for chess programs and presupposes
extended knowledge about a/h pawn and the wrong bishop.
