Remember that the previous move crafty moved away from the pawn without being
forced to do so.  That is a hint...  It didn't think Rxg2 was playable.  Don't
forget that crafty had all the tablebases.

I would have preferred to see the game played out, as I don't like early
resignations either.  But I believe this is lost.
