Hiarcs 7.32 line of play looks to be a easy win in the first position.

The second position should be able to be solved because of TB. I see the draw,
so the computer should see it with tablebase once it sees it must exchange its
Queen for the pawn. Then we are left with KR Vs KN. I will let Hiarcs search for
a bit.

New position
8/8/8/1k3p2/p1p1pPp1/PpPpP1Pp/1P1P3P/QNK2NRR w - - 0 1
