It's not that bad! lol It's tough for machines, but actually is "right up the
human's alley:o)


A strong player doesn't have to do the extensive calculations a machine must to
solve this position.

Knowledge is _key_ in solving this type of problem. Although doing the
calculations in your head to be certain of the draw is good exercise;o)

But avoiding 1..Qf8? is something people know and computers can't know, unless
this position was in it's database and the computer could use it.

I suspect in 5 years this type of problem will be solvable on PC's.
