  Capture finds a mate in 29 :
17.01	 6:37 	  +M37++ 	1...Kd7 (127.974.582) 322.3
 17.01	 6:44 	  +M34 	1...Kd7 2.Ka4 Kc7 3.c5 Ra1+ 4.Kb4 Kb8 5.Kc3 Rc1+ 6.Kd4
Rd1+ 7.Ke5 Ra1 8.Kd5 Ra5 9.Kc4 Ka7 10.Kb4 (130.028.952) 321.8
 18.01	14:15 	  +M29 	1...Kd7 2.Ka4 Kc7 3.c5 Ra1+ 4.Kb4 Kb8 5.Kc3 Ka7 6.Kb3 Rc1
7.Kb4 Rc2 8.c6 Kb6 9.Kb3 Rh2 10.Kc4 Rb2 11.a7 Kxa7 (253.533.872) 296.5

Of course all programs use 5 pieces tablebases!
