Hi Roman,

The game was already in move 133, thus it is quite possible that the end
of the 50 moves draw period was near.
You'll need to feed the whole game history therefore instead of just the
position to probably get the same move(of course it is also possible you
won't ever get the same move because of different hash entries).
Anyway it's needless to talk about ...f3(=) because it draws like most other
moves too, what every better player can see(read my other post).
Regrettably the original poster omitted the pgn, thus we cannot see where
the _real_ blunder was, if it hadn't lost on time at all.
