Thank you for posting this position.
For a human it is easy to see that the white a and b pawns are strong. So I
changed the PastPawn parameter in Gambitfruit from 100 to 150.
Nxb7 is found in 8 sec, however the engine switches to Nc6, which may be a good
move too. Changing the the PastPawn parameter to a greater value will result in
finding Nxb7 very early and give a good score too.

Here is a similar position from Ortueta-Sanz, Madrid 1934.
1. ... Rxb2 is found in 164 sec, which is pretty good on an AMD 1800 MHz.
