We let the P4 2.66GHz machine run over the break on this position
(unfortunately, it's not connected to our network right now for safety reasons,
so I don't have the output), but after 2 hours and 20 minutes it sees:

58...Rf4 59.Kh2 Qh2 60.e5 fxg2 61.Bxg2 Qxg2+ 62.Kc1 Rf2 63.Qe3+ Kh7 64.Rxf2 gxf2
etc...

and a score of -0.48.

So, maybe it wasn't a clear win. I will let it run on Polgar's position
overnight after the match.
