Great move! I chose The King to test, because this engine is a passed-pawn-lover
more than others.

King 3.23, sel. 12, ks 150/150 (P3/700 MHz 32 MB hash):

1...e5 2.e3 g4 3.Da8
  µ  (-0.87)   Tiefe: 3   00:00:00
1...h5 2.a5 g4 3.Db5
  µ  (-0.89)   Tiefe: 3   00:00:00
  µ  (-0.97)   Tiefe: 4   00:00:00
1...e5 2.e3 g4 3.a5
  µ  (-1.00)   Tiefe: 4   00:00:00
1...Kd7 2.a5 Dc6 3.Da7+ Lc7 4.a6 e5 5.dxe5 fxe5
  µ  (-1.18)   Tiefe: 4   00:00:00
  µ  (-1.06)   Tiefe: 7   00:00:01  75kN
1...Lb4 2.d5 exd5 3.cxb4 c3 4.Dd3 c2 5.De3+ Kd6 6.Dc1 Dc4 7.a5 Dxe2 8.a6
  -+  (-2.08)   Tiefe: 7   00:00:01  105kN
  µ  (-1.18)   Tiefe: 11   00:00:51  4782kN

(sorry, forgot to switch to english. L=B, D=Q)

The King finds 1...Bb4 very quickly, and doesn't expect White to capture
immediatly. As it seems, 2.d5 introduces a defensive fork idea (Qe3+ against e7
and the promotion square c1). Maybe this positions is not yet lost for White...
although, I let the engine calculate after the pv (after 5...Kd6) too, and the
eval was very bad for White.
