From a recently completed game in the 24th world correspondence chess championship semi-finals: [D] r1qr2k1/pb2bpp1/1p2pn1p/2p4P/3P1B2/2PB1N2/PP2QPP1/1K1R3R w - - Here the move 15.Rhg1 is very strong, as it gets the rook off the long diagonal and threatens to charge the g-pawn down the board. But computers don't often like to give up material .... in this case the h pawn and after 15.Rhg1! Nxh5 16.Bxh6! also the bishop. Can any program find 15.Rhg1? I believe it may win by force, and if not it certainly leaves black in big trouble, but all programs I tested don't find it, even over night. If that is too hard, try the position after 15.Rhg1 Nxh5.
