A very nice test position!  It's a pity people did not respond.

No engine was able to see that White wins within a few minutes on my 1.2 GHz
Athlon.  But since Black's moves are forced for awhile (until the programs see
the win), it's easy to prove that your solution is correct.

What's the original source of this problem?
