I set this position up. As I noted in my post crafty will never play
into it. The position was reached vs an amateur program.

I picked crafty to play this against because I know it cannot play
it (neither could the original amateur program)

I did not see any requirement in the original post that the computer
must play into it. I would be hard to find ANYTHING where you can force
the computer in 50% of the time, since you switch colors after
every game :)
