I don't want to take anything away from Zugzwang, but I guess that all programs
even at Blitz would be able to refute the tactical blunder 11...g6:

10" +0.90 e5
74" +1.52 12.e5 Bg4 13.Nf3 Bxf3 14.Qxf3 Qxe5 15.Rhe1 Qf5 16.Qxb7 Rd8 17.Qxa6 Bg7
18.Qb5+ Kf8 19.Qxf5 gxf5
114" +1.63 etc.

Fritz 5:
11" +0.91 12.e5
20" +0.94 12.Nf3
47" +1.03 12.Nf3 Qc5 13.e5 dxe5 14.Nxe5 Rh7 15.Nd5 Nxd5 16.Rxd5 Qb6
115" +1.00 12.Nf3
134" +1.03++ 12.e5
677" +1.34++ 12.e5

Hiarcs 6/Fritz engine:
6" +1.60 12.e5
12" +1.85 12.e5
55" +1.49 12.e5
