[ahfpgexy] Chess backdoor

In homage to the humans who programmed them (and invented and developed the game), let any chess program be beatable by any human who knows a special sequence of moves, hardcoded to end in checkmate.  The sequence is not secret, and it works on any chess program which participates in this proposed tradition.

It should be a bizarre sequence of moves which would never occur in a normal game.  We need one sequence for each color.

(Competing humans versus computers directly is no longer interesting because computers are so strong.  So, we let the human always win.)
