From the amature ranks,
Screamer (build 58) finds Bxg7 in about 3 minutes, but changes to Rh5 only after
more than 37 minutes.

This is on a 500mhz G4 laptop

Note:  Note, both Screamer and Crafty like to do captures as white's and black's
second move that DBjr did choose, so we're persuing a different path.
