Tiger has some smart passed pawn code for these kinds of positions. Century 3 misses this one as it does not extend enough. After a few forced moves when the black rook is captured it extends to see an immediate win. Why not extend more when the rooks are still on? An overall performance hit? Table base programs should find this in a snap but again we see an example of a non table base program (Tiger) finding it (I'm sure they'll be others). In a previous post for the Ne4 position it was Century's turn to shine while Tiger faltered.
