The CAP FAQ explains in more detail. with cap you can never rely on its score as it' sjust a computer search score without knowing what program did the search. like using cap in najdorf knowing most used program is crafty is a bit weird of course. First of all i tactical outsearch with a dual PIII800 in a tournament game already the cap data, secondly i can't rely on it at all. So it's not usuable. i'm not surprised that CAP captures a pawn at b7 at all. If you rely on cap you can never win a tournament in advance, so you can't trust it, so you can't use it. so saying it captures a pawn here i believe at once, but it doesn't change the opinion that it's a useless statement as too many important moves it plays wrong. More as a search of DIEP will reveal.
