Comments?

Nimzo was not ahead before move 63 because king black bishop and pawn at the h
file cannot win even against a king when the bishop does not control the h1
square.

Junior5 lost because of a bug.

It knows that some positions of king bishop and pawn against king and pawns are
draws and does not analyze.

There are some rare cases when the knowledge is wrong.

I discovered this bug   and told amir ban about this bug more than a month ago
and I believe that it will be fixed in the next version.
