Subject: Order of the Phoenix

In the spat further down the page between Chandler and Terry, Chandler makes the
statement:

"The PV evals are static positional values, and meaningless unless a Mate is
found."

In support of Chandler, I have seen engines evaluate themselves as +3 and wind
up drawing or even losing the game.  Giving equal time to Terry, it seldom
happens and, off the top of my head, I can't recall seeing a top engine score
itself +4 or better and fail to win the game.

Perhaps other members can supply some instances.  Membership in the Order of the
Phoenix goes to the most impressive comebacks.

Best
Dan H.
