Subject: a test position for computer program(passed pawns)

Author: blass uri

Date: 08:59:33 07/14/98

the position
7r/1k2P2P/4p3/1pp5/8/2pp4/1n3PP1/R4K1R
white to play
white should play g4
but computers like e8=Queen Rxe8 h8=Queen Rxh8 Rxh8 and
I think that black is winning instead of losing

can a computer program find g4 in a reasonable time
or all of them are stupid and do not understand that the white pawns h7 g6 are
stronger than a rook
