Go up one level in this thread

The position quoted is a famous one - it can be solved with the simple heuristic
of extending all move that give check with only one reply and extend all
position that only have one move.  The reason the top programs do not get it is
that they have cut off the search at some high value to limit the tree in normal
position.  This is certainly not a normal position!
