OK.  I will re-phrase that.  _I_ know that deep blue is a completely different
animal from deep fritz.  100X faster.  Better tuned against GM players.  No
null-move.  Singular extensions.  The differences are almost too many to
mention.

You only need reasonable king safety.  With that, 4... h5 is simply going to
get busted on principle.

Evaluation has _nothing_ to do with detecting a draw.  Deep Fritz does _not_
see the problem with the draw in game 2.  It simply plays a different king move
for more or less random reasons.  That is a far cry from _seeing_ the problem,
which it can not do.
