  Hm... a pawn ending 1 vs 4 pawns. But both players will get a queen.
  Hm... maybe there is some chance of getting a perpetual here.
  Hm... hope is the last to abandon man.

        "Sorry to interrupt your thoughts here, but it's
        actually white to move and *win*."

  What!!!

  Hm... I think I stick to backgammon...


  Test: No joke - white moves for the win. I think your programs
        will make it. Take a look at the evals - they will alter
        quite a bit... The path to the fulfilment further down.
