No.  But that doesn't mean they don't exist.  But the right circumstance
must be hit...  ie the capture opens the h file.   The computer has castled
and the opponent has not.  There must be rooks and a queen still on the board.

If all that is true, I doubt I would _ever_ make the capture unless I can
in the same variation force the trade of queens or get rid of the rooks...
