Shredder could have _easily_ lost the game vs Crafty.  It had a definitely
inferior position.  I've noticed that many programs are "overly optimistic" in
"self evaluation" and that it is often wrong, mine included.  But if you look at
the game, you'll see what I mean.  That is the kind of game I prefer to see
Crafty play as it was going to be hard to lose with an early edge, and it had
serious chances to win, particularly if the opponent makes a single misstep.
