For the record, analyzing backward is not as smart as it first appears to
be.  Yes, you propagate scores backward.  _until_ you overrun the hash
table, then the scores change drastically because the backward analysis
scores are gone.  And this makes the game analysis change at a point that
really has _nothing_ to do with what was going on in the game.

IE with normal (forward) analysis, you don't see a problem until the program
would have seen it in a real game.  With backward analysis, you simply push
the big score change back earlier in the game.  Not that where the big change
occurs has anything to do with anything.

It was something that sounded good on paper.  But in practice...  maybe not..
