It isn't just about material. Sma****ng your kingside castled position 
into oblivion with an active queen is ample compensation here, but it 
requires very steady nerves and accurate play.

A significant pro****tion of the moves are forced. He could see further 
than your program and that seems to be the way both helpbot and zebediah 
  are able to crucify it. They have a good feel for where the event 
horizon of the Getclub lookahead is and construct situations where they 
can see the right path and the program cannot.

You need to sort out the quiescence search logic and/or add singular 
extensions to allow the program to see into forced and semi forced lines 
more reliably.
