Subject: Endgame test position

Author: Günther Simon

[D]8/p7/1p5p/5k2/8/b1p3P1/3pK1PP/3B4 w - - 0 47

This game was played in Class B of my RWBC tournament circuit.
(PIV 2.67Ghz, around 128MB hash each program, 4men tablebases
+ two sets of 5men, 15min/40moves, ponder off)

ExChess had a completely won game, but decided one move before
to exchange R vs. N+P on f5. It appears to me that this position
is by all means a draw, but no program will find it.

If someone here still believes that Black can win, I would welcome
some convincing lines.
