Searcher was on the 1200MHz. Until near the end it was convinced it was
winning. I had recently added a kludge about rooks and queens on open
rook-files, following king side attack losses to IM fog involving this theme,
which might help explain the queen's preference for the h-file in the endgame -
whether this helped or not I am too poor a chess player to judge. More tuning
needed. The other losses to PostModernist seemed to show I also have work to do
on the value of passed pawns - again. Your scores seemed to predict the game
result better than mine.
