Baron 0.99.1 (to be released tonight) plays Rxc6 in two seconds (Athlon 2000+).
If my eyes don't deceive me it's an easy draw when white takes the rook. The
black king cannot be forced out of the corner, the bishop is of the wrong color
and taking the pawn on c7 by the king is a stalemate. Baron doesn't recognize
that it's a draw though. It returns the score -422.

PV (depth 19):
1..Rxc6 2.bxc6 Kb8 3.Ke4 Ka8 4.Kd5 Kb8 5.Kc5 Ka8 6.Kb5 Kb8 7.Ka5 Kb8 8.Be6 Kb8
9.Kb5 Ka8

Richard.
