Sorry, but I don't believe you can find a forced draw here.  There are way too
many very deep but quiet moves that can be played.  Including the option by
white of simply giving up the bishop to get the passed pawn moving.  A program
might think that white is losing there.  It takes one deep search to figure this
out.

Crafty gets a draw score at depth=16 for Qe3.  But it then loses it at depth=17
when it realizes that one side can do better.  0.00 doesn't impress me at all
here without the full 60+ ply variation for the deepest forced draw.
