Black will have to eventually >play h6 or h5 but then white plays f6. Seems correct. 44.h4 h5 45.f6! +- or after 44...h6 white can play 45.Kd6 because the stalemate doesn't work, black will come into Zugzwang because white has the move h4-h5. So 44...h5 is forced. I also found it at this moment with Genius6, took him some seconds to find it on P2-350. Also WChess2000 gets it quickly. Zarkov5 doesn't up to 6 min... White was MChessPro8 and black pieces were WChess2000. I admit I was close to interrupt the game and take 1-0 as result when I saw an eval of +7.xx. Now I am a bit more careful. :-) Thanks for the answer. >>Kd4 45. Kc7 >>Kc5 46. h4 h5 47. Kb7 Kd6 48. Kc8 Kc6 49. Kd8 Kd5 50. Kd7 Ke4 51. Kc7 Kd5 52. >>Kd7 Ke4 53. Kc8 Ke5 54. Kb8 Kd6 55.
