Now Komodo plays Nxf4 with close to a draw score although it still takes 5-10 seconds.

The previous version was not finding it even with a very deep search and I did not let it run long enough to see if it would find it in any reasonable amount of time.

Thanks for the improvement, Don !
Does it play Bc7 with a winning score here ?
[d]5k2/8/p7/P3bP2/8/2B5/b1K5/8 b - - 0 1
It plays Bc7 after 11 ply - the old version doesn't play Bc7 at all. And the score is around 2 pawns after playing Bc7.
Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.
