I suggest you let your programs to play one against the other in slow time control after 1...Bh3 2.gxh3 Kf5 3.Kf2 Ke4. I do not think that white has a chance. 4.Bxf6 is losing against 4...d4 and if white does not take f6 then black simply puts the pawns at d3 and f3. Tablebases cannot help in this position because the lines that black is winning are not based on tablebases(there are more than 5 pieces in the board) Uri Uri
