Sorry, but I don't count this as 'solved in 1 second'. In your case 1. Rc3
is chosen on pure positional grounds. Only when the program sees that
1. Rc3 Qd8 is losing to 2. Nxe6! one can say that it sees through. Most
programs expect 1. Rc3 Nc5, which loses a piece but avoids the mate.

So The King is still best, as it sees after only 8 seconds that 1. Rc3 Qd8
is losing. LG2000 can't see this after only 1 second. See the score, which
is +1.34. This doesn't indicate that the program sees the whole sequence.
