This is the output of Diep when it changed from Kf1 to Kh1:

04:09 22359619 (2628719) 14 2.56 Kg1-f1 Rb7-b8 Ra8-a6 Qb6-e3 Qc6-d7 Kf7-g8 Qd7xd
6 Rb8-f8 Qd6-e6 Kg8-h7 Be4-f3 Qe3xc3 Qe6-e7 Qc3-d3 Kf1-g1 Qd3-e3 Kg1-h2 Qe3-f4 g
2-g3 Qf4-d2 Bf3-g2
++ g1-h1

06:39 36563211 (3719499) 14 2.72 Kg1-h1 Rb7-b8 Ra8-a6 Qb6xc6 d5xc6 Rb8-c8 Ra6-a5
 Kf7-e7 Ra5xb5 Rc8-b8 Rb5-a5 Rb8-c8 Be4-d5 Bd6-c7 Ra5-a6 Ke7-d6 Bd5xc4


You still show a score of +2.56 for Kf1.  If Diep really saw the tactics it
would have a much lower score.  Kh1 is hardly better according to Diep - it
could be a small evaluation thing where Diep likes the king to be hiding in the
corner.  If you let it run longer, how can you be sure it doesn't ever change
its mind back to Kf1?
