If so, then that may not be enough to undo a tactical problem (i.e. it takes 14 ply to see the flaw, but the program only looked 10 ply). If not, then it may be possible to take back to the point of minimizing the positional advantage (i.e. the program searches for any way to avoid the trap it walked into, even going back 4 moves). This is hard to evaluate. KarinsDad :)
