	It seems that I posted the previous article in a hurry,
without looking at the end game situation carefully. The basic
philosophy is the same, however. The case was actually that Black
was helping White to increase his score by not making his best move
which would be to take the queen. With queen's many move options,
White could pile up his points with ease.
