Subject: Can any program solve this position?

Author: Mark Young

[FEN "8/k1p5/1q1p4/pPpPp1p1/N1P1Pp1p/P4PbP/K2Q2P1/8 w - - 1 0"]

I found this position posted below, I found a win after the move Nxb6, but no
computer I have can find it. Is there any way to program a chess program how to
handle this kind of position and still not hurt the program's overall strength
in other position?

This line is the fastest way to win this position I can find. But no computer
will play it, and they fall to the 50 move rule.

1. Nxb6! Kxb6 2. Kb3 c6 3. Ka4 cxb5+ 4. cxb5 Kb7 5. Qxa5!! 1-0
