this might be the source of the problem.

i think we should keep the move error computed using the divisor as
"unforced moves".

imo snowie makes a big error using all moves and this makes it harder to
compare 2 match.

btw can someone tell me what the definition of a 'forced move'?

i have an idea for  feature to the analyze matches and money session.   when 
it finds an error in one of your plays,  it then test both plays at another 
ply.
so for example you play a match and analyze it at 2 ply.  when gnu find you 
made an error it will test the 2 moves at 3 ply.  of course you would want 
to make this an option.
