That eval is too big.  IE this is another example.  I don't recall this
exact position but white is either up 1 or 2 pawns (2 I think) but with
lots of holes and a queen and knight to deal with.

Most programs had this as +1 to +1.3 in this stage of the game.  I became
less and less optimistic for white as I watched, as the queen is simply a real
pain, and the knight is the optimal piece to have working with the queen in a
board with pawns moved everywhere.

I wasn't surprised by the outcome, particularly.  If programs say +2 or less,
draws don't cause any speculation or bug-hunting...

I think the krnp vs kr might have been easier to win than this game was.  Of
course, taking time to eat the a-pawn in this game might have cost white more
than he thought...
