I tend to agree with Christian, but it is also true
that players like it very much when gnubg 2ply tells them that they have
made a -0.060 error and then after the rollout, it turns out that the player's
move was better or very very close to gnubg 2ply move. Of course they
are not interested in all the cases where 2ply agrees with them but the
rollout tells that they have made a mistake ... skewed appreciation of + and
- I guess :)
