I'm not sure that it bears too much inspection.  Certainly it should be checked
and if it can be improved, then it should be improved.  However...

1.  The correct move was found in 1.6 seconds.  When the time limit expired for
that move it would certainly make the correct choice.  (I had it set on 16:40).

2.  The version with this defect just won a major contest, so it may not be all
that serious.  In fact, maybe the other programs should strive for that
behavior.  Or not -- who knows...
;-)

But it would be logical to check and see if something can make an improvement.
