  Here is an example of a definitive no-no. This position happened in
  Winter(!) - Capablanca, London 1922. Here white was a bit careless
  and played 1.Nd5?  after 1.-g5 2.Nxf6+ Qxf6 3.Bg3 Bg4 4.h3 Bxf3
  5.Qxf3 Qxf3 6.gxf3, the proud bishop was reduced to a simple pawn.
  This preacher never saw the daylight anymore...

  Test1: 1.Nd5? is a clear no-no and should be evaluated with penalty
         points.

  Test2: If 1.Nd5? is faced, your program should give definite +scores
         to the line above. And choose this path in play.
