This position is too easy. Black threatens Rc5-g5xg4 leading to a drawn KRKB
ending. To try to prevent this, 1.Rf5 Rxf5 2.Bxf5 leads to an easy draw. Also,
1.Bf5 Rxf5 2.Kxg4 reaches another drawn KRKB ending. As you can see, with very
shallow depth, the position can be easily evaluated to be a forced draw.

Still, the improvement of R2 over the older version is notable, but I would be
more impressed if the position were not so trivial.
