From Crafty 18.01 (CB-native in the Hiarcs 7.32 GUI),
on PIII/700 with 29 MB Hash, all 4-piece tablebases:

New position
8/p2RP3/4r3/5pp1/2kp4/P3PK2/8/8 w - - 0 1

Analysis by Crafty 18.01:

1.exd4 Te4 2.d5 Tf4+ 3.Ke3 Te4+ 4.Kf2 Tf4+ 5.Ke2 Te4+ 6.Kd1 Txe7 7.Txe7 Kxd5
8.Txa7 g4 9.Tf7 Ke4 10.Te7+
  ±  (1.02)   Tiefe: 1/2   00:00:00
  +-  (2.46)   Tiefe: 15/33   00:03:28  94213kN, tb=586

Then, after restart of the program:

New position
8/p2RP3/4r3/5pp1/2kP4/P4K2/8/8 b - - 0 1

So it seems to me Kd3 is quite difficult... looks like a somewhat good test
position. I tried some other programs in the position after exd4, but none of
them was quickly seeing a draw, or wanted to play Kd3.
