Rxf5 Rxf5 Bxf5 Kf2 Rxe2 is a dead draw (even without the pawn on h2) - the white
king is in the correct corner to easily draw this ending.  Just play the king to
a1, and oscillate the bishop between b1 and a2 :-)

It takes LambChop 28sec to lock onto Rxf5 (at depth 8) using a P133 searching
about 20K nps.
