In a blitz match chompster played BxP and showed a draw score.

It found the move at ply 3, and the draw score at depth 10.

Blik tried to escape the draw, and was mated with Qd4, and chompster announced
mate in 13 (I think it is probably shorter than that, but it was mate no doubt).

Crafty 19.3 takes 11 ply to see the move, and 13 to see its a draw.

I think the engine has to see the forced mate, and one side is down material, so
its clearly the right move.
