It's interesting.

8/8/8/r7/1nB5/8/N7/K1k5 b - - 0 1

Or, for the FEN-impaired:

wKa1, wNa2, wBc4
bKc1, bNb4, bRa5

Black to move mates in two.

This is an illustrative (hence un-aesthetic) chess problem that I just composed.

I bet some programs can't handle this in some way.  They'll either not find the
mate, or they'll find the mate, but declare a draw after 1. ... Rxa2+ 2. Bxa2.
