So does Crafty.. but it quickly changes its mind to something else.  It
quickly sees 0.00 but then finds something better.  It later sees that
Ba3 is not just a draw but a win.

I think several others see a 0.00 score instantly, but beyond that it depends
on how deep you search to see the _real_ win.  IE my 13 ply score was almost
+4.  GT had a score of +1, which means it hadn't seen the full consequences
of Ba3 completely, until another iteration or so.

The unfortunate thing for most of these positions is that it is not uncommon
for some programs to get the right move without a clue.  Mine does it quite
often, and then only later discovers that the move was a brilliancy.  Other
times it will discover that such a move is a blunder. :)
