These positions are always lots of fun to hash out with other chess players. Eventually we seem to get to the truth of a position with the help of our computer programs ( at least in my case). We sort of go into correspondence analysis mode (using a computer to boot) while the chess program is bound to the limits of the time control it played under. So I agree that this and other positions are difficult for machines when faced with optimal play. Would they play h4 here and follow up correctly? Would they play the Rg4+ move and the Ke5 response!(that you found) from that other interesting thread? Mind you many of todays programs are playing very nice endgame moves when compared to say 3-5 years ago.
