Hmm... that might be it, since the opponent move sacrificed the own Queen and
only delayed the mate with one full move.

But I still have a tough time to understand this...
I see the A-B as searching for the best moves you can find, the next ply it
searches for the best move the opponent can do (and loosing a Queen is better
than an early mate) so why didn't my program also realize that the opponent
would rather sacrifice the queen than face defeat?
