If the engine doesn't understand K vs RP and wrong bishop, then it won't get
this
no matter how deep it can search.  If it does understand that ending then it
will

Crafty finds it at depth=3 without table bases, for example, but it has code to
understand the RP + wrong bishop issue in the position.
