The others found it by accident, or by a different positional evaluation.
For positions where the answer is not clear, which programs solve it is sort of
a random number function.  The next iteration of the same program may choose a
different move.

I am not convinced by any answer that does not have an evaluation which shows
that it knows why it picked the move that it did.

I would be very curious to find a complete list of programs that do solve it
*AND* a comment by the programmer to explain how it was chosen.

Actually, the list has no value.  We already know what the answer is.  But the
comments would have great value.
