No reason. The moves Rf5, Be5, Kg2, a4 all correspond to a clear winning plan
and are all equally good.

It's pointless to give this position to an engine to see if it can find a win
from the beginning position, since it requires far too much depth. More
interesting is to let engines play it out to see if they wander all the way
through the correct winning line effectively by a process of elimination.
