  The author promises a mate for white in 8 moves. Surely it's a true
  promise - like the ones from CB which in a very short time certainly
  will give us a new CB8 [*not* read "Chess Blab Eight" as one of my friends
  suggested] upgrade with correct search functions etc. Surely they will
  also put out the promised upgrade of "the search for duplicates" function
  for CB7. No doubt. Absolutely no doubt.

  So, down the ladder we go in this one. Black has no choice but to wait
  and do what he's forced to do. I know Frederic likes problems like this,
  so this one is for him. ;)


  Test: If the promises are kept. One of the solutions further down.
