In fact, strange analysis from hiarcs 9, after playing some moves
[d]k7/2p5/B1N5/8/8/5p2/7K/5b2 w - - 0 7
7.Fxf1 Rb7 8.Ce5 f2 9.Rg2
  +-  (#33)   Profondeur: 18/34   00:00:54  20395kN, tb=164496

After playing Bxb1:
7...Rb7 8.Ce5 f2 9.Rg2
  +-  (#31)   Profondeur: 62/10   00:00:00

#33 to #31 in 1 move ! :)
