Does it actually win a piece?  I seem to recall Amir Ban investigating this
position and posting that no piece can be won.  I assume he did a fairly
thorough job of playing through various variations, i.e. I don't think he just
set his program on infinite time and let it run.

I don't have a CCC archive set up, maybe somebody else can find his comments.

I am not saying that a piece cannot be won, I'm just not sure what the truth is.
 It would be helpful if we had the PV from the DT2 search.
