Well, yeah, I'm sure you can find examples of "deep" mistakes, but that doesn't
disprove the existence of less-deep mistakes. (Duh.) I imagine the deepness of
mistakes varies roughly with playing strength, so back-to-front analysis might
not often be a benefit for GM games but help out a 2000 a lot...
