It isn't as easy as it first seems.  Black's game will hinge on trying to
trap the bishop, while trying to prevent white from doing anything at all.
IE if black tries g6 and Kg7 immediately, Re7+ is embarassing.  Crafty
understands the trap, but will still play it because it thinks the bishop can
escape.
