Sure it could, if it decides all other options are worse.  Chessmaster also has
a tendency to display usless scores I noticed.  In positions where say, Fritz
thinkgs its losing by 1.8 or 2.2 or such, I have seen  CM think Fritz is up by
0.5.  This would change suddenly after a few moves and fail high.
