Here white must play Qxh8 to win but is your engine willing to play it? :roll:
Critter-1.4 says Mate-in-29 instantly---and then segfaults.

Should add that the engine is using Gaviota tablebases, and not just at the root.

Try again but this time with a black pawn on e3; white still has to take the rook on h8 to win.

Not enough

Even a relatively weak engine like my relatively old engine
movei can solve it without tablebases like previous positions(houdini1.5 may have problems but I did not test it with tablebases to check it and I suspect that tablebases can help it because it is going to go to KQ vs KRP winning endgame).
