Subject: Pound this position to help The World beat Kasparov!

The following position is a critical endgame that might be forced, except GMs
differ as to the assessment.  Some think white will win, others think it is a
sweep for black and his pawns will promote before white's h pawn can achieve the
same goal.  I have studied the position quite a bit with Fritz 5.32, but Fritz
is often a bit blind to the promotion threat of white's h pawn.  I intend to
pound it overnight with Crafty 16.12 and the 4-man tablebases.  If someone else
has the 5-man pieces that might help.  Dr. Hyatt's machine would be nice. ;)  Or
better yet, ask Roman to help us decide- who wins this endgame?!? :) The fate of
the game can hinge on it, and if black is winning here then the World may win as
well.
