Hello Terry,

Very good test position.

I tried ProDeo, Crafty, Yace, Zappa, List, Comet, Toga II (based on Fruit),
List, Comet, SlowChess, Aristarch, SOS, Spike, LittleGoliath and all of them
want to play 1.bxa5.

But two engines play correctly 1.Kc2 with a score of -0.29 and -0.34
respectively: Shredder Classic and Quark(!).
