I guess in terms of CPU time, that 11.5 hrs is probably two weeks of Tasc time...

we need
a) to move the bishop or
b) to move the king to protect the bishop

I was certainly looking at Bh6, it seemed good but I still had no vision of a long term draw plan. Was also looking at Kg8 but for no good reason I didn't like it as much. I'll go with the flow and vote Bh6
