My program at this point seems roughly equal in strength to the early 1980's
dedicated units, so I enjoy trying these types of positions.  (It beats up on
Chess Challenger 7, but has a tough time with Constellation 3.6.)  Anyway, my
program sticks with Qc1.

According to Fritz 7, Qc1 is actually a little better than Qb2 after 16 ply
(+2.47 vs +2.07).
