For example, Crafty (3 min), Ruffian (1:30) and Zappa (2:30). This is because the problem occurs at a high search depth. Amateur does better in switching to the right move, taking only 10 sec. It does this by "cheating," which is to say, reducing the search depth when a large score drop occurs. I don't really see a downside to this. Crafty 14 191 11683 124623699 1. ... Bxh6 2.
