On my K6-233 64 MB all 4 piece tablebases it needs 1:40 at ply 13
to see Rxb6 with >3.39. In the next iteration it says after 4:17 24.51
and does not expect Kxb6 because of mate in 29.

When I enter Rxb6 and Kxb6 and clear the hashtables, it needs more
time to see the mate. At depth 21 after 6:14  it sees >2.46.
depth 22 after 7:53 5.45 and finally at depth 25 mate in 31 or better
after 28 minutes!

I will test if it has something to do with my limited max depth of 32.
