For Amateur:

r3q1k1/ppp1rp2/2n1b2Q/8/2P5/3B4/PPP2RPP/5RK1 b - -

Using a static eval, I get different results if it is White or Black doing the
evaluating.  I guess this is a result of my asymmetrical king-safety.

White says +0.73, Black says +1.29 (+ is good for white).  Does anyone else do
this asymetrically?
