It's a good test position, but programmes don't spot 1. Rxf5! right away as mate
isn't forced unless Black replies 1..exf?? which is a forced mate. However after
Rxf5, Black may as well resign, anyways. Shredder 7.04 at 14 plies has a
positive eval., Fritz 8 at 13 plies also has a positive eval. with Rxf5!
