if the "target time/move" is over 1 minute/move, then no, it won't
play Qxe4.  Qxe4 drops by almost 2 pawns at ply=11.  Rf8 is not a lot
better of course (-.7 for Qe4, -.4 for Rf8 and Qd6) but it would
certainly
play Rf8, if given enough time for Qxe4 to drop significantly, which is
under 2 minutes on my P5...

I'll try to run these later.  Right now it is analyzing Karpov/Anand
again...
