  Queckenstadt (Kvekkenstedt?) 1922

  The two Bishops were fighting their own battle, while their Kings
  were watching. It was all about proving suited for the elevation
  to Archbishop. The struggle was tense when suddenly one of the Bishops
  realized that he could achive his goal by actually giving himself up.
  As a true religious man he did so. Transfered himself to g2 (1.Bg2!)
  and faced his rival. Left with no choice his shocked brother in faith
  entered the same square (1.-Bxg2) and found himself in a deserted land.
  After 2.e4! the door was closed. Desperately the Bishop tried to open
  it again, but could he do it in time?


  Test: If your program could search deep enough to find the win for white.
        If not - try it with 1.Bg2 played.
