What is very interesting here is that both you and martin like White (even after
0-0) while Zappa is quite happy with Black (and I _think_ Chessmaster is as
well, although I always get confused with all the signs).

It is pretty obvious why Zappa likes Black (simple computerish things like good
mobility and better center control) but what does White have?  After 0-0-0 I
guess I can give the edge to white (Zappa still doesn't understand, of course)
but in this patzer's opinion 0-0 is =+ for Black.
