While reading the dec 98 issue of Europe-Echecs i came across this and i was
wondering if any top programs could solve to it to the end  in tournament time.

White:Kb1,Qd1,Ra1,Rf1,Bb5,Bh6,Nf5 and pawns on a2,b2,c2,g2,h2
                         Black:Kg8,Qc7,Ra8,Rh8,Bc8,Be5,Nb8 and pawns on
a7,b7,e7,f7,g6,h7....Solution:Nxe7!!,Qxe7,Rxf7!!,Kxf7,Qd5+,Qe6,Rf1+,Bf6,Rxf6!!,Kxf6,Qd4+,Ke7,Bg5+,Kf7,Bc4,Re8,Qf6+,Kg8,Bh6!
and mate is inevitable.i think that this problem is at the limit of what today's
programs can see at tournament time.At longer time controls(Hello Ed 2010!) of
course that should not be too difficult to solve..am i wrong?
