Here is analysis of movei after many hours on p850
It can find fisher's move but it does not see Ra3 in it's main line

depth=15 -0.41 b1f5 g6f5 f4g3 g7h7 f3g5 e7g5 c1g5 d8b8 g5f4 b8g8 g3h4 g8e8 h4g5
e8g6 g5e7 g6g7 e7c5 b4a2 c5f5 h7g8

Time: 07:10:18.05

The first 7 plies seem to be 5 plies for movei thanks to extensions
After the first moves I get
depth=10 +0.41 d8b8 g5f4 b8g8 g3h4 g8e8 h4g5 e8g6 g5e7 g6g7 e7c5 b4a2 c5f5 h7g8

later it can see(I did not save the analysis and 9:32 is only the time of the
end of the iteration on p850)
