Subject: TB "No Material" mate in 7...

This position occured in Tiger450 - Crafty game on icc today:
[D]6K1/7p/6k1P/6n2/8/8/8/8 w - -

It caught my eye because CT refused to take 'draw' with Kxh7... However it's a
mate in 7 (or less, not sure about it)  then. Interesting exception for those
implementing endgame knowledge in programs, when TBs are not available.

Funny thing is that if white took Kxh7 then refused to move and wait for flag to
fall - icc would assign a draw score to that game....
