Not many answers until now. One might suspect, that it is difficult even for the
top commercial programs. After a very long search, I got:

                               36.Rxf5H {HT} {-150}

There was still no negative score after Rxf1. I looked a bit into the line, and
at the next depth, the score would most probably be negative.

Dieter
