Thanks Vincent!
This is a nice zugzwang position. I think that after 1.h4 black is in zugzwang!
It is very interesting since each side has still one queen and one knight, and
the position comes from a real game.
Try with Fritz and you should see that he has the same problem.
Now we know that Hiarcs uses null move!!!
