This definition won't cut it.  _all_ programs sacrifice material from time
to time.  Mine sacrifices pawns and exchanges all the time.  And it is _not_
a "new paradigm".  It is just tuned to do so.

The only benefit to calling it "new paradigm" here is that before long, _all_
programs will be lumped into that category whether they are new or old, and
at least the hyperbole will go away...
