Maybe it is doing something similar to what texel does: http://talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 91&t=52469

I can confirm your observation as well. Also tried houdini with syzygy and there it worked as expected.

Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand

Have fun.
