I'm not saying it's pretty easy to return a winning score from the root position. That would be indeed be near impossible and wasteful. I'm saying if you turn up the contempt for draw in a program, I assumed most would play the same winning moves as Slow Chess, despite starting out with a negative evaluation for its position like Slow does. Are you saying I'm wrong about this? (I didn't test this with other programs so I may be.) (Also the mate threat I mentioned was from a human analysis point of view... if black moves his queen anywhere that it can't be captured instantly it's mate. It's true from a computer point of view Slow doesn't extend these 'mate threats' at all.)
