Getting my computer to go any deeper with this position in Alibaba takes a very
long time.  If anyone else would like to have a go at it, put thr below position
in a file, and put it in a subdirectory of Alibaba's called "games", for
example: d:\alibaba\games  and load the position with the "load" or "L" command.

Alibaba can only load games from it's "games" subdirectory.  Here's the position
file:

Rb1 Bd4 Kf4 Ng5
Rb3  b2 Kd7
