I wonder if this below position is solvable by some programs?
bm is Kb7 with the King march over to the kingside.

[D]3k4/2pP4/2Kp2P1/3P2P1/B2b4/8/8/8 w - -

It does illustrate nicely the difference between human and machine
in their approach to solving certain positions. A human will in a sense work
backwards, visualizing that the king must penetrate to the f5,e6,g6 area
in order to win. A machine starts from the initial position and starts winding
its way through a maze of variations, perhaps hitting upon a winning line.
