I have a version with a form of singular extension and it find this in two and a
half minutes.  The same version without singular extension finds it in nine and
a half hours.

After 1. Rxc5, black has to play 1. ... Qxc5, and this is +3 or so for white.
It takes a while, like 25 minutes or so, to get to +3.  Other times I've tried
this experiment it's come back at +2 or +3 in a few minutes, so I don't know why
it's taking so long all of a sudden.

This is on a P2/300.
