hi from egtbs: bxh2 is drawn as i suspected.
h6-h5 is also drawn from egtbs and bc5 seems only good try though there are
also some draw features in the position but still it's a good try whereas
other moves are not such a good try. bc5 seems only move where direct
exchanges from white to drawn endgame are not so clear.
