Yes, it plays well most of the time.

I think the bug is that in some positions, it plays _really_ weak moves
(blunders). One characteristic of such a position is that the line displayed in
the output is only one ply long.

There had been such examples posted here, but since the archives are not
available, I can't give you one. The problem wasn't rare, I had discovered one
such position too while going through one of my games.
