Some oldies and chesscomputers won't solve this:

[D]r3k3/2Qp3R/1p6/1b2K3/4p3/8/5p2/8 w q - 0 1

[Event "Die Schwalbe"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1929.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Zepler # in 4"]
[Black "[+1430.04e5e8]"]
[Result "1-0"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "r3k3/2Qp3R/1p6/1b2K3/4p3/8/5p2/8 w q - 0 1"]

1. Kd4 {threats 2.Qe5+ and 3.#} (1. Qd6 $2 O-O-O) 1... Ra4+ 2. Ke5 Ra8 3. Qd6
1-0

Includes a "pseudo" repetition. :-)
