OK, I've looked over Dan's game. The problem seems to be that, for Janus Chess, ChessV values pawns too much over development. This will be a little tricky to fix. Basically, ChessV can play a large number of 10x8 chess games, some of which have pieces weak enough that a pawn is, in fact, more valuable than the development of three pieces. Greg's only option is to add a new variable for each game ChessV supports: How valuable development is. This will vary, depending on the game being played.
Dan played well. I personally think 5. ... Ah6 is a good try for black to both hold on to the pawn and to defend against the gambit.
As another note, if you give ChessV enough time to think about the move, it sees that white can force a mate after 15. Bf2.
