Here is what I got after some making the five possible moves for black and
then analysing with crafty:
After 1... Ng5:
18-> 272:02 Mat35 2. Bb4 Nh3 3. Bc3+ Kg8 4. Kf6 Ng5 5.
Kg6 Ne6 6. Bd2 Kf8 7. Bb4+ Kg8 8. Kxh6
<HT>
After 1... Nf6:
13-> 5.13 Mat07 2. Be5 Kg8 3. Kxf6 <HT>
After 1... Nf8:
17-> 102:00 Mat33 2. Be5+ Kg8 3. Be8 Nh7 4. Kg6 Nf8+
5. Kxh6 <HT>
After 1... Kh8:
15-> 1:57 Mat22 2. Kg6 Kg8 3. Bg4 Nf8+ 4. Kxh6 <HT>
After 1... Kg8:
16-> 8:57 Mat23 2. Kg6 Nf8+ 3. Kxh6 <EGTB>
So it seems it is at least a mate in 35 and no 50 move rule applies.
