This was my impression too when I installed gnuchess 4.0 on my 386 PC
running 386bsd.  It gives away pieces, every now and then.  Something
3.1 hardly ever did.  Also, it overlooked mate in two quite a few times.
3.1 at least announced it with a message, sometimes several moves before
I saw it myself.
All in all I prefer 3.1 over 4.0.
