Well, it was actually a game I played this morning. After 1. Ne2 	h2  2.	Ng3
Rh3,  I felt lucky and tried 3. Nf5+. In fact, after 3. ... Ke8, I believe it's
a mate in 12. I think most programs will get Nf5+ from
8/1p2knR1/p1pp2R1/4p3/PP2P3/4P1Nr/2P4p/2K5 w - - after a minute or two. I guess
the additional 4 plies puts the mating prospect beyond the event horizon.
