Test position: beautiful positional sacrifice

Post by maac »

[d]r1bq1rk1/1pp2pbp/p2ppnp1/n2P4/2P5/P1N3P1/1P1NPPBP/R1BQ1RK1 b - - 0 10


from game Grandelius - Ipatov, (2012) here black plays the beautiful Rb8!!,
Houdini 4 finds it at depth 24 (& 26). Which other engine is capable of find it?

PS. It's because it and other subtleties that i prefer Houdini over the others, it's a marvel!
