That one is old. Try this one.
8/3pk3/4p1bB/4Pp2/p4Pp1/6P1/3P1K1P/8 w - - 0 1
In the position after white's fifth move all programs consider black to be winning.

White to play and Draw [V. Smyslov]
1.Bg5+ [ 1.d4? loses to 1...Kf7] 1...Ke8 [ After 1...Kf7 2.Bd8 a3 3.Ba5 a2
4.Bc3 the bishop gets back in time to stop the pawn.] 2.d4 a3 3.d5 a2 [
3...exd5 is met by 4.e6 with the idea of Bf6, which is also a draw, as white covers all the important squares on the a1- h8 diagonal.] 4.d6 a1Q 5.Kg2 The position is drawn. Note that 5...Qa8+ 6.Kg1 Qd8 changes nothing. After
7.Bxd8 Kxd8 black's K escapes the prison, but he will still not be able to win thw h2-pawn with the K alone, and the black B cannot be activated..

I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.
