These are the top three moves according to CM9_R1 on an AMD 2500:

Time	Depth	Score	Positions	Moves
1:00	1/12	10.64	19397021	1.h4 Kh8 2.Rxg7 Rxg7 3.Qxg7+ Qxg7
					4.Rxg7 Kxg7 5.h5 Kg8 6.e7 Kf7 7.h6
					Kxe7 8.h7 Kf7 9.h8=Q Kg6 10.Qe5
2:50	1/12	10.62	54099655	1.Qd2 a6 2.h4 a5 3.R1g2 Rxe6 4.Qd5
					Qc1+ 5.Rg1 Qc6 6.Qxc6 bxc6 7.Rxg7+
					Kf8 8.Rc7
1:05	1/12	10.45	20950865	1.Rxg7+ Rxg7 2.Qxg7+ Qxg7 3.h4
					b5 4.Rxg7+ Kxg7 5.h5 bxa4 6.h6+
					Kf6 7.h7 Kxe6 8.h8=Q Kd5 9.Qa8+
					Kc4 10.Qxa7 Kb3 11.Qd4

Not much difference between them, and obviously a very clear win for White....

Seems like 1.Rxg7+ Rxg7 2.Qxg7+ Qxg7 3.h4 Kh8 4.Rxg7+ Kxg7 5.h5 is simplest, as
it leads to this:

[D]8/pp4k1/4P3/7P/P7/8/1P6/7K b - - 0 5

Even *I* could win that. :-)
