  Thank you for your explainations. You shall think I like odd
positions, so I tried this one: White: Kg1, Qc4, Nh6   Black: Kh8, Qh3,
Rb8, Bf3, pawn g3; White to move. Actually Junior doesn't see the mate
in two and wants to make a perpetual check. But if the white queen is in
f7 instead of c4, Junior sees the mate in two! I suppose it is because
it is a forced variation and the only way not to get mated?
