In that case, ChessGenius 1.5 for Palm (a much more 'positional' program than
even Tiger on its mildest settings) not finding it after 15 minutes is
surprising; it oscillates between Ne7+, Ne3 and Qc5 ...

Even after Nf6+ gxf6 it takes a long time (over 90 seconds) to switch to Rd8+,
preferring Qc1 before that.
