Unfortunaltely Chess Tiger did not solve this one in 10 minutes, so I stopped
the analysis.

I'm not too much upset however, as I am more interested in playing real games
than solving studies.

But thanks for posting this kind of positions. It's always interesting to be
well aware of each program's weaknesses. After seeing enough of these I
generally try to do something about them.

I will do this carefully however, because the last time I tried to fix my
program on a special low material study I realized I had completely broken my
endgame search... And it took me some time to realize that and to recover...
