Hi, Jon, thanks for posting that.  Was wondering if that would get a rise out of
you. :)  I think we played three games that day, and you won the other two.

The position has some endgame or promotion attributes that cause a good variety
of move choices among the repondents, at least initially.  I tried to figure out
why my prog was taking so long, but wasted several hours on the effort and came
up empty.  And now I see that yours is similar to mine; so this is one I'll just
forget about.  Except for the fact that it's a draw!  That I have to deal with.

Will
