I should be so lucky.

Thanks Dann!

One of my theories is that both computers and humans accidentally walk into
shark infested waters (i.e. bad positions) without seeing the danger signals.
Humans can see the danger signals more readily than computers and I'm trying to
figure out why that is (other than the obvious chunking of patterns).

Hopefully, some of these positions will give me clues in and of themselves to
determine the answer to some of that. In other words, what it is about the
position that determines that you are heading towards a cliff.

Thanks again :)
