Simply to select Ba3 is sufficient as long as the program understand that it
will be better off 10 or 11 moves later.

I just let Chess Genius 3 to analyse the position under two/playes analysis, but
when I told it to print the moves analysis it simply froze> Now I saw that CG3
selected the correct sequense of moves after Ba3 but too bad that I could NOT
manage to post its Analysis.

As long as it take Movei to solve it, but NOT more than 60 Minutes.
