Nice test position.  My program first settles on Kb1 at ply 20 with a small
edge(positional eval) over Ka2/Kb2 after 0.11 seconds :)
It finally sees that it wins a pawn at ply 25 after another 0.3 seconds
It adds another pawn to the advantage at ply 32, after 4.2 seconds and then
it runs out of hash table or something because it takes longer than I cared
to wait for ply 33.

ps. this is with check extensions on, so maybe it finally sees a queen and
that made the search blow up? :)
