How does Junior/Fritz evaluate the position after 2. ...bxc5 ?  Crafty gives a
nice advantage for black, but actually white will eventually win (Long Tablebase
wins are finally seen after about 20-25 plies are played).  If Fritz/Junior give
advantage to black in this position, this is the move that they should pick for
black.
