[d] r2q2k1/pp1bb1rp/7Q/3pp1PP/8/2P3P1/PPB5/R2NK2R b KQ -

bm Bg4 or Bc8

Several versions of my program have difficulty with this, although Arasan 9.5 solves it quickly.

Jon, all engines I have tested solves the position quickly, including
Arasan 9.3.

Earlier versions (like 8.4) want to play Bxg5. I think it's possible to select Bg4 and still not see all the tactics that make Bg4 better than an immediate Bxg5. So in that respect it's not a good test.
