   I got this one from the back pages of "Blackburne's Chess Games".
 Interesting, because Blackburne himself claims a mate in 4.
 This is his solution:
  1 Rh6 Rxh6
  2 Nc5 cd
  3 Qe8 Any
  4 white mates accordingly (his words).
 I have'nt gone over it to find out where Blackburne went wrong, but
 this is what CM9K with ss=0 has to say.
