Sorry for not submitting the analysis clip as I run Deep Sjeng under Winboard,
not under the CB GUI.  Another thing, my machne is slightly faster than 2.4Mhz
(the Z80 is long gone...), but 2.4Ghz, 1 GB RAM, Win 2000.  And yes, it was very
easy to get what you were saying and interpret it as king side majority.  King
side majority it is, of course, after the winning exchange on c5.
