He is talking about the Nf6+ move crafty played against chessmaster in
the KKUP tournament a few years ago.  Crafty saw a draw score after a 13-14
ply search.  Hsu sent me some brief output from Deep Blue Junior that showed
that in under 2 minutes, it saw our score as +2.5...  Several moves into the
game Crafty failed high and finally agreed.  DB Jr saw it very quickly while
everyone else is taking quite a long time compared to their two minutes.  Note
that this was DB Jr model 1, not the 1997 version...

This was simply an attempt to compare their tactics to ours.  At least in
this position, theirs is better.
