Quite a wild position indeed -- with many possibilities for
both sides, actually.

"DarkThought WCCC'99" behaves like a blend of "Crafty" and
"Gambit Tiger" here. It fails low on Kh2 with a negative
score of -0.3 in iteration #13 after roughly 1:30 min. But
the score climbs up to -0.07 (about even) again in the next
iterations.
