This version has some sort of traumatic revisions (I think).
So I expect there will be lots of tweaking to get things better.
But eventually, he will come up with a big winner.

Usually, when a particular playing style clobbers you, it is a hole in your
eval, search, or something of that nature.  You can look at the positions where
your eval says "GREAT", the opponent's eval says "THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK" and the
opponent is right.  Often, the needed change is obvious.
