Very good result

Yace that is supposed to be best in pawn endgames
cannnot see g4 in a reasonable time on p800(64 mbyte hash)

Yace could not finish depth 15 even after 27 minutes
and it now considers move number 6 out of 9 legal moves
(I have no idea what is move because chessbase gui
does not tell me it)

Yace is not slowed down and the
number of nodes per second based on the output seems to be ok
New position
8/2p1k3/3p3p/2PP1pp1/1P1K1P2/6P1/8/8 w - - 0 1
