  Yes, and this position causes severe problems for Hiarcs732, Nimzo732/8,
  Fritz532, Fritz6 and Deep Fritz. They all want 36.-Nc7.

  Solved instantly by Tiger, Junior (even J5), Shredder (even S3)
  and CM (though some newly created personalities might need more time).
  Also Yace finds the correct continuation after less than 1 minute.

  Appearantly this knowledge is missing in F6/DF. For the latter I aborted
  the analyse after 10 min, though.
