White to move and mate in two #442 - does it even matter? [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

War, famine, disease, genocide. Death, in a million different forms, often painful and protracted for the poor individual wretches involved. What god would so arrange the universe to predispose its creations to experience such suffering, or be the cause of it in others? What master of simulations or arbitrator of a game would set up the initial conditions to the same pitiless effect? God or programmer, the charge would be the same: that of near-infinitely sadistic cruelty; deliberate, premeditated barbarism on an unspeakably horrific scale. -- Iain M. Banks, Matter (2008)
