Fritz5 sees 27.Kf3 Bg4+ 28.Kg2 Bh3+
I am not sure if Bh3+ gives black more than a draw.

Junior5 can find 27.Kf3 in less than 54 minutes in my pentium200MMX computer.

The commercial Junior5 found it after looking at 415301 Knodes.
The latest Junior is a little faster in this position and needs only 406731
Knodes.

It is also faster at the Rxd5+ position and needs 90128 Knodes to find Rxd5 with
a positive evaluation when the commercial Junior5 needs 107974 Knodes.

I do not want to give exact times because I did other applications at the same
time and maybe it slowed down the computer.
