Hello,

very hard position.
Chessmaster 6555 (128 MB hash) finds 1.Bg2! in 15:14 min. on Athlon 1.2 GHZ.

Score 0.00 ; 1. ...Bxg2 2.e4 f5 3.gxf5 exf5 4.a7

Some say CM is often bad in endgame play. But my results are, CM often is very
excellent, although with out any tablebases.

Any other Prog finds it?
