The exact same thing has been posted at least 2 times before already.

When I wrote this, Deep Sjeng 1.0 was current, and none of the professionals
or best amateurs could find the move in a short amount of time. It's now about
1 year later and other people have improved too, so some other programs can
also find it reasonably quickly.

Deep Sjeng 1.5/1.6 are actually a bit slower than 1.0 on this position.

I left the position there because it's still indicative of Deep Sjeng's style.

And for the ones wondering, the sacrifice is 100% correct and crushing, just
analyze a bit further :)
