Subject: Which Programs will Take the Pawn and Lose in this Position?

Which programs can resist playing Qxg7 in the following position?

2k4r/ppp2Qpp/8/q1b1p1P1/1r2Bn1P/1P1P4/P1P2P2/2KR2NR w - - 0 18

After Qxg7, white is lost.  For example, ...Rd8, Bf5 kb8, Kb1 Qa3, Rc1 Ra4!

Fritz 5 & 6, Hiarcs 7.32, and Junior 5 avoid Qxg7 and play Kb1.  Crafty plays
Qxg7.  I let each program think for 3 minutes on a PIII 500 with a 128 mb hash
table.
