A few years ago, there was an ICC player that consistently beat computer
programs by sac a piece on g5 (11.hxg5).  To the point, that Bob Hyatt invented
the "trojan " code to stop Crafty from playing hxg5.  Shreddeer  now has the
same code (there may be others).

In the game below, Rublevsky played the "Mercilous attack" and it is interesting
to see how Anand dealt with it - he sac hiw own piece back!

If the program does not play hg5 here, it has trogan code to prevent the
Mercilous attack.
