  Meyer 19??

  Hm, my sources are giving me some trouble here... First we had a beautiful
  study by Schröder, who proved not to be *that* Rebel-Schröder. :) And
  now we are facing a very clean finish by Meyer. Which Meyer? Kahlen?
  Believe it or not... This ending is very simple, clean and with a
  distinct finish. A bishop ending (same colors), 4-3 pawns, but the
  position is blocked and it's difficult to make any progress. Something
  must be there because black's bishop looks just like another pawn...


  Test: White to move and win. Good evals for white, while just moving
        around the pieces, are not enough. Can your program actually
        play out this position for a win? The distinct kill further down.
