The problem here seems to be, that (afaik) engines won't do any positional
evaluations (which may include pawn chain code and such) anymore, when one side
has such a big material plus as having a queen for a bishop, +6. So, even when
an engine has "anti-anti" algorithms, they may be ineffective after the queen
sac.
