Yes, it is a hard position for programs... that are used to prune "useless" and
"improbable" situations in order to find useful lines in normal games. My
program, after removing some selective search prunning functions, finds the
answer in almost no time, but if I leave the program like that, it's crap under
normal circumstances and has no chance against any other programs/humans.
This is a useful position for a "health check", or maybe for Qsearch
optimization, but othersise it's not real!! A real headache for people in a
chess magazine anyway.
