two ways to solve it.  First with endgame databases:  :)
              depth   time  score   variation (1)
                1     0.09 -Mat14   c7 <EGTB>
                1     0.09     ++   Kg8!!
                1     0.09  -7.48   Kg8
                1->   0.09  -7.48   Kg8
                2     0.09     --   Kg8
                2     0.09 -Mat13   Kg8 <EGTB>
                2     0.09 -Mat14   c7 <EGTB>
                2     0.09     ++   Kg7!!
                2     0.09   0.00   Kg7 <EGTB>
                2->   0.10   0.00   Kg7 <EGTB>

and without:
              depth   time  score   variation (1)
                1     0.00  -7.28   c7 Kb7

                3     0.05     --   c7

the above is on my notebook with a small default hash
