Here is the C.A.P. record for that position. rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - acd 15; ce -7; pv e4 e6 Nf3 Bb4 Nc3 Ne7 Bc4 Nbc6 O-O O-O d4 Bxc3 bxc3 Na5 Bb5; pm e4; id "C.A.P. 4028"; I bet you never knew crafty was French. Crafty thinks it is behind by 7 one hundredths of a pawn. This is obviously conservative because white has a tempo at least. But I don't think that it is grossly inaccurate.
