>gnuchessr plays d7e6 instead of d7d6 (KxB) after thinking for about
a minute. What's the deal?

If the search depth parameter "depth" is set manually to 10, and the   
program terminates the search when it is completed at this depth, rather
than on the basis of a timeout signal, the better move (d7d6) is selected.
I'm running gnuchess on an IBM PC, and so wasn't able to check the program
search for a depth selection greater than 10, due to the slow speed of
the machine.
