[D]7n/5p2/5Np1/5pP1/5pbB/5k2/5Pr1/3K3B w - - 0 1

of course this is zugzwang problem and some null movers can see nothing here.

1.Ke1 Bh3 2.Kf1 Bg4 3.Bxg2#

I believe that most of the programs can find it.

I tested 16 engines

6 could not see the mate:

1)Crafty19.19
2)Fritz6 Light
3)Fruit2.1
4)Glaurung Mainz
5)Rybka1.0 beta32bit
6)TogaII0.93

10 could see the mate:
1)Comet
2)Fritz8
3)Fruit2.2
4)GambitFruit1.0beta4x
5)Junior7
6)prodeo1.0
7)Shredder9
8)Toga1.1
9)Yace
10)Movei


I am surprised if Deep Fritz8 cannot find it because my fritz8 has no problem to
find it.
