#    This is not as clear cut as it may seem. 2.7.228 values the endgame 
#    move at A7 to 6.66 points which seems about correct. The fact that 
#    white D4 threatens both to cut off E5-F6 and to capture D3 through 
#    a chain of threats (which is what happens in the game) is not that
#    easy to understand.  A more general atari_atari module could 
#    perhaps see it, but we are still far from that.  I think this test
#    should be in nicklas3.tst (harder problems).
