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.
