I've been doing some strange things to Crafty 18.12, and I just finished one,
and came here to find a couple positions to test it. :)  It seems I've found a
good one, but the search seems unstable here. :(

It takes a while searching for another move, so I moved ahead with Bb6 cxb6:

I will have to work out some search instabilities. :(
