Wotawa, Deutsche Schachzeitung, 1942) The computers don't even understand that Kd7-c6 is a threat. 1 Rxb5! Rxb5 2 Bc5 b6 3 Bb4! Rxb4 4 Kc3 Rb5 5 b4 Ke7 6 Kb3 Kf6 7 Ka4 Rxb4+ 8 Kxb4 Kf5 9 h4! and wins. (2...Kd7 3 b4 b6 4 Bf8 Ke8 5 Ka4) There is a similar study by Selesniev: [D]4k3/1p6/1r1p4/1p1P1B1P/1P6/2K5/8/8 w - - 0 1 1 Bd3 Kf7 2 Bxb5! Rxb5 3 Kc4 Rb6 4 b5 etc. Martin
