I'm a bit surprised about programs which solve any sac in testsets,
but they lose in games because of a sac.

Note this is not the case with tiger, it's known to sacrafice pawns
easily in the center (like the gs2930 is all about), it wins regurarly
games because of this at icc. So very consequent behaviour.
