"The key is Kg4
Programs want to play fxg5, because this wins a pawn, prepares to
get a passer,etc.
I haven't seen detailed analysis, but I assume that this draws,
because black gets back to h8 somehow, and
then he can sacrifice his bishop for the e6 pawn eventually, and
white is left with the wrong rook pawn.
Does anybody figure this position out? If so, how did you do it?
Does it require speculative knowledge that might
lead to a sub-optimal result in other cases?
Rebel 8, Rebel 9, and Rebel 10 are the only programs I know of that
can find the key move in this position. Rebel
9, and Rebel 10 being the only ones that can find Kg4 in well under
10 min. and stick with.
Here is what Rebel 10 thinks of the position.
Kg4 found at ply 16 score 2.77
Kg4 Be7 Kf5 g4 Kxg4 Ke4 Be8
At ply 17, score now 3.20 same line of play."
