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.
