This conclusion comes way too early... You would have to actually *play* against
it, to see what happens. The *1st* move of a pv is what really matters (the rest
may come at the board, or may not), and this is the right one here.

After all, it's a sac. You havo to see at least something, to start with giving
away material.

This type of testing is ok IMO, because the program which finds the correct 1st
moves fastest, will be stronger than the program which takes much longer to
switch to the best move, and produces a perfect pv up to ply 17 after 10
Minutes.

That's why I do not pay too much attention to the pv in this type of test (if
it's a good testing move only of course, not if it's a "normal" move...).

How is Diep doing here?
