I've seen several games where GNUChess 5.07 (notalent) is down in score to Symbolic in the middlegame, by sometimes more than 3 pawns, yet it seems to recover and win later in the game. I guess this is where the speed difference is showing (700 MHz vs. 1400 MHz), and Symbolic is getting significantly outsearched when the pieces start coming off the board.
