My copy of HIARCS 7.0 didn't have a problem with the position at all. This is
the
output with (approxmately) the elapsed time (the value of a Pawn is 128).
9 ply (12 seconds) [+130] 1. Kg5 Kc5 2. Kf6 Bd7 3. c8Q Bxc8 4. Nxc8 a5
10 ply (21 seconds) [+98] 1. Kg5 a5 2. Nc6+ Kc5 3. Nxa7 a4 4. Kf6 Bd7
11 ply (30 seconds) [+30] 1. Kg5 Kc5 2. c8Q Bxc8 3. Nxc8 a5 4. Ne7 a4
[0] 1. Nc6+ Kc5 2. Nxa7 a5 3. Kg5 a4
12 ply (1:01) [+23] 1. Kg5 Bd7 2. Kf6 Kc5 3. Ke5 a5 4. Ke4 a4
(1:23) [+23] 1. Kg6 Kc5 2. Kf6 Bd7 3. Ke5
(1:07) [0] 1. Nc6+ Kc5 2. Nxa7 a5 3. Kg5 a4 4. Kf6 Bd7
13 ply (2:00) [0] 1. Kg5 Bd7 2. Kf6 Kc5 3. Ke5 a5 4. Ke4 Kc4
(2:03) [0] 1. Kg6 Kc5 2. Kf6 Bd7 3. Ke5
(2:22) [0] 1. Nc6+ Kc5 2. Nxa7 a5 3. Kg5 a4 4. Kf6 Bd7
So it sees a draw in all three important lines in just over two minutes, at 13
ply,
which isn't all that bad really.
