Deep Fritz(pIII800 64Mb hash) after some minutes failed high on Bd5 at depth
12/40
It solved the fail high after 7 minutes and 15 seconds

It can see an evaluation of 1.81 pawns for black.
The main line:
1...Bd5 2.Qg2 Qc4 3.Nb3 Nxb2 4.fxg6 Nxd1 5.gxh7+ Kf7 6.Qg7+ Ke8 7.Rd1

The previous best move at depth 12 was gxh5 with 1.66 pawns for black so if gxh5
leads to a draw then it means that the draw was too Deep for Deep Fritz at depth
12.
