[D]8/5p1p/8/6k1/8/6P1/5PP1/7K w - -

This position was part of a test posted quite some time ago.  All the other
positions were solved without huge difficulty by programs, but this one was not.
 I've seen a couple of times where programs come up with the first move, but
they don't really know what's going on.

I want to see a program get the correct line with a decent score (more than +1
or so).

The line is 1. Kh2 f6 2. Kh1! f5 3. Kg1 Kf6 4. Kf1 Ke5 5. Ke1 Kd5 6. Kd1 Ke5 7.
Kc2! Kd4 8. Kd2 Ke4 9. Ke2 h6 10. Kf1! Ke5 11. Kg1 Kf6 12. Kh2 Kg6 13. Kh3, and
now the win is not hard to find.
