If I understand this position correctly (which I probably don't), then Nh4 is
the surest way for Black, who is behind on material, to get a draw.  I ran the
position through my old Chessbase package, with these results:
Comet B02 found Nh4 fastest, in about two minutes (it actually found it sooner,
but it did not see it as a draw until two minutes);
Doctor 3.0 found it in three minutes;
Fritz 5.32, Hiarcs 7.32, and Crafty 16.6 did not choose Nh4.
Cheers,
Mark
