for all programs that instantly saw the draw in mike's
position, this may be interesting too (of course only
without tablebases): white to move and win, a study by
J. Vancura 1922, which is also on the chessbase site.

[d]8/8/8/8/8/2K4B/5k1P/8 w - - 0 1

the point is that although black's king is in the
square of the white pawn, he can never get through
to the h-file. programs which are too speculative about
"wrong bishop => draw" might show a draw score before
they see the win.
