If you're having Winboard save the games in the match, then, in the questionable position save off an epd, and get a log of GNU's search in that position. I don't know if it's capable of generating a log (have not checked) but you could get something from Winboard's debug file. I mean, just in case it had a valid reason for making what appears to be a foolish move. I like the new GNUchess, but some of it's sacrifices seem a bit outrageous. I think it's more fun than the previous GNUchess.
