We eventually agreed on all but the opening position.  Johan's program was the
only one to solve this.  I had some power cuts while running mine, and since
that time I don't have a spare machine any more (it's running normal GLC matches
again).

From the easier positions we looked at, we predicted that the opening position
would be a win for white, and this is what Johan's program found.

Cheers, Tim.
