I did not analyze the position but only gave it to Junior5.9.

after 4...Kg3 Junior5.9 fails high on the move Rxh8

evaluation at depth 13(after the typical 0.3 addition for fail high moves) is
1.03 pawns for white.

I used pentium200MMX for 2 hours to get the evaluation(my pentiumIII450 is busy
in another task).
