Very difficult to see the win for an engine. It should take 34 plies without taking into account extensions, not to mention there are zugswangs in between. The full variation is not analyzed in the website (analysis is mine, but I checked it with Gaviota). 9. Kxb6 +- is not the end of it... at least is not that obvious.

Very nice position indeed.
