No, I wasn't kidding, I want to find even harder moves, like I did several days
ago with Bxh7, which stumped computers!

However, that was a game in 15 minutes and played over the board.
Nevertheless, thanks for the compliment!

A little secret, when I play such quick games, moves like Rxh3 come intuitively,
and I don't work out every detail, which entails some risk, computers _have_ to
work out far more details to realize such moves. If they could be tuned to look
at a position more like a human master or grandmaster and then back it up with
computer calculations to _prove_ the move, then we may be facing unbeatable
programs/machines, which I don't think is too far off now.
