True, but he admitted to be guessing on that point.  The topic of his post was
about finding the stalemate idea (it's in the title).  In order to do that, I
think the program must see a draw (not just see a big, albeit smaller, loss than
with axb3).

Just my understanding.  Yours may certainly differ.
