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.
