No particular reason. I agree that it's better to understand the eval always for
white, and avoid confusions; at least I'm accustomed to it.
I guess most of the outputs that people were posting were given to the side to
move, and since they starting contributing to all this, I suggested this only to
accomodate to them.

It's not a big deal anyway, as long as we all know what we're doing.
