I strongly expect that where there is no clear move, the computers will change their mind over and over in the search. Lots of opening positions with no pawn snatches within 20 ply, and perhaps 25 chessmen on the board, the computer will jump all over the place. I also suspect that if you took those same positions that you analyzed and analyzed them at 24 hours with the 5 top professional programs you will definitely get different answers for some of them. If you could go deep enough (let's say 30 plies) even in these positions there is sure to be some deeply hidden tactical shot that wins at least one pawn. But finding it is just too hard for programs right now. Of course, the pawn grab may *not* be the best move, but that is what the computer will probably come up with eventually.
