Check your analysis.  That position is a mate in 3 for black.  :)

Note white king can't evade the Qxe4#.

If I did checks in q-search I probably would have seen it was a mate for black,
rather than just -3.5...  :)



I can get multiple PVs.  Can you post the PGN for the game and I can get it to
display the five best moves and scores via "annotate"...
