That does not impress me much, though. It is a tough one, but most good programs
can solve it in a couple of minutes. Tao needs around 400 seconds. Rebel around
1 minute, the King and Fritz 2 minutes, Hiarcs around 4 minutes.

It is a good test IMO, because it is a real grandmaster combination, played by
Ponomariov in a normal timecontrol game.

Best regards,
Bas.
