That's just a question of depth since the score is obviously improving. When a program is improving its score by chosing the right moves (to a certain extent as inaccuracy tends to creep in the further you go in the PV), then I consider it to be the right reason. If Nxh6 had been the only correct move in the PV, but the score > 0, then it's a right move for the wrong reason to me. The score will improve if the PV keeps on approaching the correct variation. You're doing a TC imitation by staring at the score IMHO. What score would imply "right reason" at depth 11? Mogens.
