Of course!
Goliath shows a score of + 4,10 up to 5,00 pawns !!
We have checked the position with our copy: Goliath plays well,
instead of repeating the position, and wins easily.
Not clear for us, what was going on during the game.
No exact informations from our operator up to now, but it seems
that the computer crashed. Instead of reloading the complete game, our
operator only entered the actual position. So, the game history was
missing and the programm "doesn´t" know, that the position was repeated
before. Ugly!!
