The Baron doesn't consider anything else but Kb4 and shows a -1 score (coming
from -5) after a minute (on a P4-2.4). This is the line after 4 minutes:
14(29)& 4:09.31 58957923 -1.19 Kc5-b4 d4xc3 Kb4xc3 b5-b4 Kc3xb4 Ka1-b1
Kb4-c3 Re4-e2 Qg3-g1 Kb1-a2 Qg1xg4 Re2-e3
Kc3-d4 Re3-d3 Kd4xc4 Rf5-d5 Qg4-g2 Ka2-b1
Qg2-g7 (a4-a3) (Qg7-d4)
