King's Gambit solved in Tablebase format!

Here Rybka programmer Rajlich claims to have solved the King's Gambit and has found that it is losing by force for White, unless he plays 3.Be2, which leads to a draw.

He said he will work on the other openings next. Can't wait to hear his findings, hoping to get confirmation that chess is a drawn game.

It turns out I was another April fool:

Despite the prank I prefer to believe this could be achieved some day... even if not in our generation! :)
