Test to find 12. ... o-o (one halfmove before your position) is part of the
classic suite BS2830:

[D]r1bqk2r/pppp1Npp/8/2bnP3/8/6K1/PB4PP/RN1Q3R b kq -

bm O-O; id "BS2830.20"; c0 "Gofman-Petrow, 4/97-40 Schachmate-Maizeliw,I, 1844";
Some years ago most commercial programs had no problem with seeing o-o wins.
