Gaviota 0.30 in AMD K2 400 mhz sees it in 270 seconds.
As well as rebel, sees it in ply 10. I am happy about that, but of course
my engine is slower and has a bigger tree.

If some engines do not see d5 is probably because Ng6 wins material
and they are seduced by this move. Not as good as d5, though.
