finally Fruit found it:

  +-  (4.07)   Depth: 15/62   00:52:23  2008025kN
1.Rdd3 d5 2.Nxh7 Nxh7 3.hxg6 fxg6 4.Rdg3 Rg7 5.Rxg6 Nhf6 6.Rxg7+ Nxg7 7.Qxf6 Re8
8.Rg3 Bc6 9.cxd5 exd5 10.exd5 axb4 11.axb4
  +-  (4.29)   Depth: 16/62   00:57:34  2192092kN

A very bad branching factore at depth 15.

Now I test with history threshold=50
It seems to be hypnotized by Rd3 at depth 14.

I suspect that it may find it now at depth 14 and faster but we are going to see
if I am right
