Be2 is +2 at depth=15.  a6 fails high after 30 seconds at depth=15, with a score
of 3.76.  At depth=16 a6 fails high again.

Looks like Yace has been paying attention to my "split passed pawns" and
"distant passers on both sides of the board" scoring stuff.   Based on the
starting position.  Black is just lost.
