Well, Tiger thought it was better against Diep, also Diep showed negative
evaluation, but still Tiger didn't win. So in your words it is unlucky.
Otherwise I just disagree. If both programs think it is good for White, but
it is instead losing, then the evaluation was not good. In other words:
Luck is very subjective, as I already wrote.

You can give any example in which person A will call a situation 'unlucky'
and person B will disagree. In this case my sunjective feeling is that Tiger
is unlucky. And nobody can change that, because it is my own - subjective -
feeling.
