I guess I should have said difficult for crafty. Crafty can't solve this
position in a reasonable length of time (or possibly at all). Even a few moves
down the solution path, crafty can't see it.
[D]4K1kr/6Pp/5q1P/4P3/8/3P4/8/8 w - - 0 4

the solution here is gxh8=Q Qxh8 d4!! One of the prettiest moves I've seen. Even
at ply 30, crafty does not see it.
