Ruy-Lopez prefers g5 for the first two minutes, then changes its mind to h4 and
sticks with it for along time. The scores are not too different (+.90 for g5,
then +1.09 for h4, which later becomes +1.01). My program would probably have
played the same weak move under tournament conditions. I hope at least this
serves as consolation.
