I like this position quite alot, because it's so easy (I mean tangible) for a
reasonably intelligent human to see clearly.
This is an example of a position which I always wanted to know if anyone of
2200 elo would ever miss.
Although I havn't seen it on a computer, so I may well be wrong, I still think
it is clear after ...Bxg6 (2) PXB R-7 check  (3) RXR PXR (4)KXP What's the next
move? Yes


















4...Re8. Etc.
From the point before B-g6 I'd be interested to know how many at 1800elo would
not find it easily in a game.
Anyway, for computers it must be slightly more difficult than for humans. It
involves human logic.
