Of course

The poster already mentioned more than one time in this thread that he did not
use tablebases

see
http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?338459

"I don't have tablebases installed on this PC."

http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?338495

"I wonder if TBs are
making the difference."


I am not surprised that the KBB vs KP tablebases help to solve the problem
quickly because in order to avoid the bishop promotion the program needs to see
that KBB vs KP is a draw so it is obvious that every program that is using the
KBB vs KP tablebases with no bugs is going to solve it.
