Steal away.

It helped me improve the evaluation by finding problems quickly.  For example,
was I being strangled slowly or losing to unseen king attacks, passed pawns
running in the ending etc.  _Made_ me address outside passed pawns for sure.

Also shows when I come out of book 2 pawns down :-(

Maybe others CCT3 competitors will post their log files in good faith now.  Gian
