I was wondering when someone might point out the humour in this. It is true that
there are very few non open source/non commercial engines that do this move.

The commercial ones include as stated Fritz9 (which is a Dutch engine), Chess
Tiger 15/Gambit Tiger 2 and a few others......for example.....

A Dutch engine......Tao 5.6

Another Dutch engine.......Wing 1.6

And another engine........Celes 0.77c which as you have probably guessed by now
and my atlas tells me, comes from........the Netherlands.
