Are you kidding??  Such tricks are the basics of any tactical strength of a
chessplayer. That is exactly what seperates mere amateurs from masters/experts.
In all tactics tests for human players you will find that sort of testposition.
White has a 1-ply Mate threat! Such a position is for beginners. So it's NOT
very hard to see for humans. - Just speaking about human chess in such a
forum...
