Many different versions of Fruit and Toga also crash and burn when given this position.

I had to follow Houdini's line for 31 plies, until the knight on h6 was taken and the king moved to e1, before Stockfish 2.0 saw an advantage for white. Crazy position.

Doesn't crash here. Just says mate in 75 after 36 seconds.

Awesome position, Louis, thanks for sharing it!
This one can show (as in my case) how improperly handled triple repetition detection can mix up the 'go-further' search for a particular position.
I have to reconsider it in my implementation helping myself with positions like this one. I think that a lot of engines will suffer too with it.

Does not crash ?? Why don't you show the name of the engine that has

been used ? It might as well be any.

Hmm let's see some people here posted a position where Rybka crashes.

And all you did was post analysis which shows no engine name...
