4-8 about 3 moves after 11-15 in the game is the real mistake. 4-8 wins the man
but loses. any normal checkers program should want to play 4-8 for a while, and
if it's good, it should switch away from 4-8 after some time. the position is
rather complicated, so you should make sure that it doesn't switch back. i've
changed a couple of things in cake after LV to make it find this faster, which
it does, but it still needs a lot of time :-(
just try glancing over schaeffer's shoulder to see when it switches to a better
move :-)
