What is the best alternative here?  Rc3 is what Crafty likes, but it seems
losing also after many plies (maybe).

What was the continuation of this game?  After 1. Qc4 Qg4 {Qf6}, white seems to
be still winning.

This is unclear...Kf2 might not be best, but black might lose anyway.

What was the continuation of this?  Black might be able to win after 1. b4
also...

Kh6 still wins.  This should be a trivial ending for most any chess program. :)
