I have played a few corr. games with this engine (players are allowed to use
computers at this site) and one thing I noticed is that it is very libiral with
pawns and weak squares around it's king. Even at long time controls in this
(sorry i can't post a dig. see game below) position after move 29. Rb1 it wants
to play 29. ... Bxp, however after 30.RxB Qa1+ 31.Kh2 QxR blacks king position
is ruined and after a moves like Qa4 and Bg4 black looks very weak. This is
confusing because it doen't seem that this engine is against sacrificing an
exchange for "compensation", see my second example where it goes and gives up an
exchange to get a very nice position (in my 2100 elo opinion).
