I don't know if that is what it indicates.  My interpretation might be that
programs just can't think like a good Chess player.  Personally, I'm not a good
enough Chess player to know that the ACTUAL best move is, but what can I say.

Here's Junior, well, still messing with the kid (you can call it what you want)
after about 3 hrs & 20 mins, now it's taking a slightly different route, but
still not Kb5:

[D]8/8/5n1p/p1k1pBpP/1p2P1P1/1P2K3/P7/8 b - - 0 1

Analysis by Junior 6.0:
