[d]5b2/5k1r/7P/R1Ppp1B1/7P/5p2/1K1R2b1/8 w - - bm Ra6

This proves difficult for many top programs, while others do ok (Ruffian,
Crafty, Zappa).  The theme seems to be to control the 6th rank, keeping the
black king bottled up.  Failing that, black has chances with its advanced pawns.
 (from an ICC game that black won.)

The line is Ra6 d4 Kc1! or h5!
