Subject: Engines Test Position

Author: Christos Gitsis

This is from one of my tournament games.

[D] R7/6k1/P7/6pp/8/r6P/5PK1/8 w - - 1 42

My opponent, playing White, set a trap for me in this position with his last
move 42.h4.

After 42...gxh4? white wins with a7 and f2-f4-f5-f6+:
If then ...Kf7 white plays Rh8 Rxa7 Rh7+ followed by Rxa7.
If ...Kxf6 Rf8+ wins.

I suppose this is too deep for the engines, while an expert human player should
avoid the trap.

After 42...g4 the position is equal.

Is there an engine that plays 42...g4?
