The Baron (like the other programs) finds b5 almost immediately with a positive
score, but never a winning score (between 0.1 and 0.2). This is the line after
one hour (Xeon 2.8, 100Mb hash):

 20(46).  55:12.95 1584645740   +0.19  b6-b5 Kd4xd5 a5xb4 c3xb4 b5xa4 Kd5-c4
                                      Kd7-c7 b4-b5 a4-a3 Kc4-b3 Kc7-b6 Kb3xa3
                                      Kb6xb5 Ka3-b3 h7-h6 Kb3-c3 Kb5-c5 Kc3-d3
                                      Kc5-d5 Kd3-e3 Kd5-c4 Ke3-f3
