Amateur does well here, probably by luck.  Finds Bg7 at ply 4 after 0.12 sec,
score +2, rising to +6 at ply 9, powerbook 300mhz.

btw, a question re your node numbers.  Beowulf reports 95 million total nodes,
but shows only 10 million in ply 11?  I assume you just omitted ply 12.

And, the quiesce percentage seems high, although I notice some programs report
high percentages, and some low.  I'm thinking this is due to how nodes are
counted.  Does Beowulf happen to count qnodes as calls to quiesce, even if the
quiesce search cuts off prior to making a move?
