Mustafa,

Chess Tiger 14 finds Rxf5 after about 1 minute on a PII 333 Mhz computer 96 MB
RAM.  This leads to a win for white eventually but there is no mate in five
immediately. Part of the winning sequence also involves a queen sacrifice by
white a few moves after the rook exchange. Neat puzzle...where did you get it?
