Subject: Knight Power (study)

One of my DB:s is labelled "hard" - meaning hard positions for engines. The one
below is such a position. It's a study by Zachodjakin from 1930. I have tested
it on a PIII 800. Does much faster hardware make any difference?


[D]5B1k/7p/6P1/4NnP1/8/8/K4p2/8 w - - 0 1

Knight Power by Zachodjakin 1930. White to move and draw.


Solution: 1.g7+! Nxg7 2.Nf7+ Kg8 3.Bc5! f1Q 4.Nh6+ Kh8 5.Bd6 and black
          can't make any progress. The bishop is immune thanks to Nf7+.
