Are you sure, this is easy for a chess program. I believe not, and most engines
will not solve this or solve it by luck giving unrealistic scores. Patzer is an
exception. Roland Pfister has explained, how to solve it (you can find it with
the CCC search engine). His idea works very well, but I fear, in general it will
make a chess engine slightly weaker. Roland called the code to solve this
"Behting study code". All of this is IIRC.

The position is also part of Peter McKenzie's endgame test suite.
