      Is this really a good test position.
      CM9_T05 does not find 28.Rxh5 within
      reasonable time and does even not
      assess the postion after 28.Rxh5 gxh5
      as won for White. Is the game continuation
      indeed forced. Further investigations
      are required I think. Analysis under
      CM-GUI on P4 1.8/32 MB hash
