I think for a piece sacrifice to be reading above zero (in the time it takes
LGG) means
something -- also, that although it was not correct about the best line after
about 7-ply, it certainly 'got the drift' -- coincidentally, very much in the
manner being discussed just prior
to this "The reason why etc". Surely it must be clear that NO program is going
to throw away a knight 'for the wrong reason'?
