Baron, like the King, initially selects Nxf7 and drops it after 40 seconds (on a
PIII-500) for Bf4. The reason seems to be that it values Bf4 a little better
than Nxf7, not that Nxf7 is incorrect.

I forced Nxf7 to check if there was a problem and I saw the score drop
(perspective of white from 122 to 46, and after more than an hour (again, on the
PIII-500) I got a fail high. But no convincing winning scores (yet).
