Subject: Fritz gets it, Bringer doesn't: How does your program do?

Author: Michael de la Maza

The following position appeared in a game in the U1800 section of the World
Open.

[D]rnbr2k1/ppq1ppbp/6p1/1Pp1P3/2P5/P2B1N1P/2QB1PP1/4RRK1 w - - 3 22

White played 22. e6!!

On a P90 it takes Fritz 6 4:17:38 (that's four hours, seventeen minutes, and 38
seconds) to find this move.  Initially, it gets a score of +0.38.  At 5:06:33
the score increases to 0.56.  Finally, at 6:03:33 the score goes to +0.59.

On a P90 Bringer 1.7 does not seem to be able to find 22. e6 even after 15 hours
(see below).

How does your favorite program do?   Does any program find this in a reasonable
amount of time?  I'm particularly interested in how Phalanx does with this
position.
