Deep Blue prefered Bc7 with a score of +0.10 when the alternative dropped to a 0.00 score. So adopting Bc7 depended on evaluating it as a slight plus (not logically, because black is slightly behind after returning the pawn, and next move DB's score drops to minus right away. DB seems to have inconsistent evaluation here). In order not to make this test dependent on fine points of evaluation, the question should not be "do you find Bc7 ?", but "Do you evaluate do-nothing moves as draw or worse ?" Amir
