I do not think that the move is so difficult to find because I remmeber that
some years ago Fritz5.32 or program from the same time found it and at the time
of Fritz5.32 there was nothing significantly better than zappa1.1.

I also do not think that Zappa is an average program.

The average level of program is near the level of Gnuchess and GNUchess is
clearly weaker than Zappa.
