1.a4-a5 g4xf3 2.g2xf3 h4-h3 3.a5-a6 h3-h2 4.a6-a7 h2-h1Q 5.a7-a8Q  Qh1xf3

and now yace says:
6.Qa8-b8+ Kf4-g4 7.Qb8-g8+ Kg4-h3 8.Qg8-h8+ Kh3-g2 9.Qh8-g7+ Qf3-g4 10.Qg7-b7+

15.Kd3-c2 Qf4-f2+ 16.Kc2-c1 f5-f4 17.Qh7-g6+ Kg2-f1 18.Qg6-h6 Qf2-f3 19.Qh6-h7
Qf3-g3 20.Qh7-h1+ Kf1-f2
  -+  (-#50)   Depth: 62   00:00:00

Not that 5...Qh1-f3 is probably wrong because yace says that 5...Qh1-g2+ is
a mate in 48

I also think that ruffian resigned too early because it has no way to know that
the opponent use the KQP vs KQ tablebases.

programs should implement tablebases correctly and one of the important thing is
to evaluate mate in more than 40 moves from tablebases as a score that is less
than mate because of the hope that the opponent is going to blunder.

Yace(with part of the tablebases) changes it's mind from Kf2 to b4 and can see
0.00 evaluation after enough time.

New position
8/5pp1/7p/p4k2/8/P4PK1/1P4P1/8 w - - 0 1
