Here is another position for your database.
[D] r1qr2k1/pb2bpp1/1p2p2p/2p4n/3P1B2/2PB1N2/PP2QPP1/1K1R2R1 w - - 0 16 bm
16.Bxh6

This is from a correspondence game I played many years ago. It would be
interesting to see how programs do today, but when I tried Rybka Winfinder on it
using my 2 year old laptop it still was not solved after several hours. The
position 1 move earlier is absurdly hard for computers.
