Aha, BT2630 Position 27 and 28 (from Anderssen-Kieseritzky 1851, "die
Unsterbliche").

IsiChess (XP2.1) has no clue of e5 in 15 miutes. It wants to play Qd1 (after 10
seconds) with -0.22 after 1:49 and +0.01 after 6 minutes.
PV: 1.Qd1 Na6 2.Kxg1 g6 3.Rb1 Qxa2 4.Ra1 Qb2 5.Ba3 Qxa3 5.Rxa3 gxf5

After 17:53 Rae1! with 21++  hmmm...

Cheers,
Gerd
