How many programmes out there can find the wonderful rook sac in the position
below? Neither Rebel Century nor Fritz 5.32 got close within 10 minutes on
a Celeron 433 128 mb ram.It comes from a  game between G Sax  and J Kestler
Nice 1974.

 If someone thinks the sac is suss please let me know.
1... Rxa3 2pxa3 Qa5 3Rd3 Qxa3ch 4Kb1 Bxf5. At this point both Rebel and Fritz
were acknowledging white's position is lost.
I'm not sure of Kestler's rating but I thing this position highlights
that tactically computers have still got a way to go.What do others think?
Regards Allan
P.S Apologies if the diagram doesn't happen.
