Now another interesting (to me at least) point.  Some programs pick up the move
as "!" earlier, but do not choose ("play") it till later - like MCP7.  Others
which *could* do this do not.  What characterises the likelihood of such a move
(as the Rc2 alleged freak) being picked up one way or the other by a particular
program?
