The target in games is to find the best moves and not to find the theoretic
result.

programs that understand that e5 is better for white relative to the
alternatives have something positive.

Note only that singular extensions are not needed and better evaluation may be
enough to find 43.e5

Latest Movei does not find 43.e5 in a few minutes inspite of the fact that Bxb4
fails low again and again.

Hopefully it can find it at depth 15 after searching to depth 15 but more than
10 minutes in a fast hardware(A3000) is not something that I can define as a
reasonable time

depth=15 -3.20 a3b4 b3d4 d1e1 a1b2 e3c2 d4c2 b1c2 b8b4 g1h1 b4c4 c2d1 a4a3 f3b3
