[Event "Thueringen Mohlsdorf"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2000.??.??"]
[Round "3"]
[White "Junior 6.0 Athlon 1000"]
[Black "Shredder 4.0 Athlon 800"]
[Result "1-0"]
[Annotator "Quick-08"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "3R4/5r1p/5ppk/8/1Q3PPq/5P2/6K1/8 w - - 0 52"]
[PlyCount "9"]

52. Rg8 Qh5 (52... f5 53. g5+ Kh5 54. Qd6) (52... g5 53. Qd6 Rg7 (53... gxf4 54.
Qxf4+ Qg5 55. Qh2+) (53... Qe1 54. fxg5#) 54. Qxf6+ Rg6 55. Rxg6+ hxg6 56. Qh8#)
53. gxh5 Rc7 54. Qf8+ Kxh5 55. Qxf6 Rc2+ 56. Kg3 1-0

Fastest finders in this position (among those I've tested) are Shredder 5.32 and
Genius 98/5 (!), and a little slower are Yace 0.99.56, King 3.12 sel.10 and
Hiarcs 7.32. Most probably it's a zugzwang/nullmove issue, if an engine is fast
or not here.
