Hi Steffen,

"DarkThought" follows a different plan and does not like to
exchange queens here. The PV for Qg6+ in iteration #12 runs:

1. Qg6+ Kf8 2. Qf6 Kg8 3. Qg5+

It ends after Qg5+ due to hashing effects. But "DarkThought"
switches to Qg5+ and then to e6 as the preferred move in
iteration #13 anyway. It gets a deep fail-high on e6 with a
score of >= +4.1 in iteration #16 later on after roughly 9 min.
