At the search depths that I was able to reach, Crafty did Qxg2+, but Amy avoided
it for some reason, maybe with a deeper search Amy would have taken the pawn
with the Queen too.  I'm trying to figure out why not 19....f3 forking white's
Queen and the pawn blocking the King, is there a reason the programs hate that
idea?
