Hello John

I am surprised it takes so long. I get about 16 seconds on my Athlon xp2100.

New game
8/7p/6pP/1B4P1/pp6/1k1K4/8/8 w - - 0 1

Analysis by The King 3.23:

1.Be8 a3 2.Bxg6 hxg6 3.h7 a2 4.h8B Ka3 5.Kc2 b3+ 6.Kc1 Ka4 7.Kb2 Kb4 8.Bf6 Kc4
9.Ka3 Kd3 10.Kxb3
±  (0.85)    Depth: 15   00:00:16  5075kN
