Easy

[D]rrb4k/1p1p3p/pPpP1K2/P1P2p2/5p2/5P2/6PP/8 b - - 0 1

You can win programs 2-0 from this position.

With black you win by Ra7 and the stupid program take the rook so you can play
later v5 free the pieces and win.

With white you win because the white king can prevent the black king to capture
the pawns and 3 pawns win 1 pawn.
