Ah, I see now why this is different from the evaluation. It's the evaluation 
window that gives you the best measurement, since it's from the databases.

Possibly the databases deserve a tab of their own on the Race Theory window. I 
tend to think that the evaluation is a bit obscure, more in the "guts" of 
gnubg. It is generally only useful for the race databases, or for seeing how 0, 
1 & 2-ply evaluations compare. All the NN stuff is somewhat esoteric and 
probably only useful to Joseph. I wonder how often it is used.

BTW, the Race Theory window is always full screen height on my PC. It takes up 
an awful lot of room for what it is. I can't change the vertical height by 
dragging (although I can change the horizontal). This does not seem right to me.
