It seems that tiger12 Dos did a typical computer error otherwise it could avoid
KBP vs K draw.

I guess that it did not understand that it is a draw because it had no
tablebases and no knowledge about it(I guess that it is not going to work
against the new tiger because I remember that the author found a way to add this
kind of knowledge without being slower).
