After about 10 hours, my program gives
17.   -13 22963.6 1097898436  g4f6 f8c8 f6h7 h8h7 c1a1 a2b3 f3d2 b3b2 g2c6 c8c6
d1b1 b2b1 d2b1 h7g8
18.     0 36290.5 2101713756  g4f6 f8c8 f6h7 h8h7 c1a1 a2b3 f3d2 b3b2 d1b1 b2c2
b1c1 c2b2 c1b1

And think it is a draw. This is about same to Deep Thought's result. I have to
stop it after 15 hours, and it still work on 19th ply. I'll let it run longer at
weekends.

And yes, this one seems very hard.
