Subject: Sharing my chess ignorance! A little test for novices like me.

Hi!

Warning! This is probably very easy for most of you with an intrest in chess,
for anybody like me (intrested in programming, bad chess player) it could be
something to think about though...

Sharper put itself in this position:

2k4r/2p5/6RB/4qp1Q/7P/P3P3/3r3P/R5K1 w - -

With little time to think it made the bad move Qf5. Giving a second more it
found Qf3. Since I could not believe that Sharper would lose that game (the 20
latest moves it had a quite nice advantage I simply couldn't understand what
happened. Then I gave the position to crafty and saw how bad it thought the
position was. After looking at it very carefully I also understood what the
catch was.

Can you see it too?

/Regards Albert
