It was only my first game with Sjeng after downloading and setting it up.  I
tried to play a game just to see how it played.  I wish I had saved the game but
for some reason unknown the automatic save game was not checked.  Anyway I was
very proud of myself.  I had a King and 2 pawns vs a King and one pawn.  I was
happy untill I noticed that Sjeng had announced mate in 31 or something like
that on me.  I was trying to just finish the game when the problem occured.
