Does this position have much greater importance than all others (10^115).  You
can do this to ANY engine available.  That is find a position where all others
are better.  It means nothing in terms of overall strength.  It does point out a
problem that might be fixed if the programmer considered it important.  Problem
is quite often fixing this will cause some other problem.  Everything is a
compromise.
