Nice job noticing that move Uri !!.
This is from game 1 of my post yesterday.
Hiarcs 7.32 v Chess Tiger 12.92 Beta.
A good test position so it would seem.
I expect quite a few programs will have a problem with this.

Hiarcs 7.32 48 mb for some reason seems to like Kc2 even to
depth 12/30 which is where I stopped it, after a big fail.
Though even now it's still thinking after 10 mins and hasn't
posted another line yet.

Even Fritz 6a likes Kc2 for a while even Qd5?. Seems F6a has as many
problems with this as Hiarcs does.

Chess Tiger 12.92 Beta selects it for about 3 secs between depths 10-11.
Though Tiger can clearly see that Rd4 leaves it still in the game.

Following are;
