Do you have a multipv mode? It would be good to see the evaluations of Rb1 and
Qe2 from the root position, for increasing depths.

It's easy to find Rc3 after Rb1 because you will generally be nullmoving for the
other player. If you can't see it at the root you might decide at greater depth
that Qe2 is not all that great and switch back to Rb1 instead. This is what
happened in the game.

Crafty thinks at low depth that Rxd3 wins for black (and hence won't play Rb1),
but this is wrong (it's a draw). The variation looked like a bug, but I forgot
that you don't handle checks in the qsearch at all...
