You want to bet that we can find positions where the opposite would happen
(Tiger would be a zillion times faster to find the solution)?
You cannot make your mind on just one position.
Maybe somebody could come up with a testsuite for handheld computers? Steve has
published some positions a while ago. It would be great to build a testsuite
with 40 positions or so to test at one minute max per move.
