The gnubg benchmark database has the resulting position and rollouts of
that for each possible move in given position. The net selects the best
move, and the there is a error rate on each move. So, we don't care about
the exactness of the absolute evaluation, we care about the relative
evaluation between the moves (or resulting positions after each move). That
is what makes it select good moves!
