[d]8/7N/1k2pp2/3P4/8/8/2r5/5K1R w - - 0 1

Solution:

1. dxe6 Rc1+ 2. Kf2 Rxh1 3. e7 Rh2+ 4. Kf3 Rh3+ 5. Kf4 Rh4+ 6. Kf5 Rh5+
7. Kxf6 Rh6+ 8. Kf5 Rh5+ 9. Kf4 Rh4+ 10. Kf3 Rh3+ 11. Ke2 Rh2+ 12. Kd3
Rh3+ 13. Kd4 Rh4+ 14. Kd5 Rh5+ 15. Kd6 Rh6+ 16. Nf6 Rxf6+ 17. Kd5 Rf5+
18. Kd4 Rf4+ 19. Ke3 Rf1 20. Ke2 1-0

1.dxe6 is easy, I assume every chess program will find it instantly.

Difficult to find is 2.Kf2!!

And that's the hard challenge for your favorite engine.
