The question is if the move of deeper blue was the right move.
It is not clear that 36.axb5 was the right move.

If it is not the right move then the expression solve for finding axb5 is not
the right expression.

It is possible that it found this move because of a bug because I saw no tree
that prove to computers that axb5 is the right move.

The case with the nolot positions is different because I think that there is a
tree to prove the solutions(it is easy for programs to see that playing moves
not in the tree is bad).
