I was up most of the night flipping between ICC and FICS where these
discussions were going on.  Not a single computer showed a draw for Qe3 at
any point during the night.  I haven't seen a _correct_ draw score for that
move yet.  Little Goliath might well produce 0.0 but it is highly unreliable
because it considers N checks in a row to be a draw, which is often wrong.
