The following shots were played by some Pro Deo settings I'm working on, against
Fritz 8.0.0.26. Some engines should not have too much trouble, others may have
more. They're nice shots in any case.

[D]r1b2rk1/1p2bpp1/pqn1p2p/8/2B1QB1P/P3PN2/1P3PP1/1K1R3R w - - 0 16

The game went quite spectacularly and PD played 16.Ng5! afer which the game
proceeded with 16...g6 17.Nxf7! Kxf7 18.h5! Bxa3 19.Qxg6+ Ke7 20.Rd2 Bb4 21.Rd3
Qc5 22.Bxh6 Rf5 23.Rhd1!! and black resigned a few moves later.

[D]r1r3k1/pp2bpp1/2n1b2p/q2n4/3P2P1/P1NB1N1P/1PQB1P2/1K1R3R b - - 0 17

Here PD played the strong 17...Ncb4! (not obvious to find for a human IMO) and
play went 18.axb4 Bxb4 19.Bh7+ Kh8 20.Be4 Rxc3! 21.Bxc3 Nxc3+ 22.bxc3 Bxc3
23.Qxc3 Qxc3 and white is lost.
