I said that chessmaster6000 and Rebel have no problem with this position.

This fact does not amaze me but the fact that other programs cannot see this
simple tactics only because of the fact that the number of plies is big.

All the moves are checks replies to check or natural passed pawn moves so strong
humans will have no problems to see it in a game if they are not in time
trouble.

It is amazing that some programs like Fritz are so weak in tactics.
