This is a Troitzky study (1934, I think; can't
remember whether the wR is on e5 or f5 but
it doesn't matter)

1 Rb5+ Nb6  (Ka7 is mate in 2)  2 Bxb6 Ta2+
3 Kg4! (not Kg3) Txh1  4 Bg1+ Kc7  5 Rb1!
The bR is caught. Advancing the h pawn
only brings the wK closer to the rook.
5... Kd7  6 Re1!
Now the bK gets short of white squares.
6... Kc6  7 Rd1 Kb5  8 Rc1 Ka4  9 Rb1.

Did your program find all moves?
