I find this only happends about 1 out of every 3 moves. And in computer computer games I have never seen a program do super deep thinks in a game as humans some times do. The programs are given a lot of time to do there searches so the best program should still win. If you look at the time stamps on the games that are posted you will see that some of the moves are made after 1000 secs. So if the program need to do a deep think it has the time to do it. Is this match the same as running it on two computers? No but its close.
