I think when this position first was posted, I mentioned that the Chessmaster
5500 on my P233 find the solution in about 59 seconds. It dismisses Rxa8 at
about 20? seconds for Ne5, I think. I would have to check to be sure. As for my
program, I will not even bother to try it out, as it would be embarassing......
