It only take a GM to know the opponent weakness to force X program to accept an
exchange. For instance the GM could have a significant losing game by having a
Rook and a pawn versus the program with two knights and two Bishops. But if the
GM human player knows that the program doesn't know how to Mate with a KBN vs K,
all that he has to do is force the exchange of his rook and pawn for one of his
bishop and knight, and the rest will end in a 50 moves draw :-)
