No doubt, anything that is implemented wrong can be counterproductive. However I have watched games of Yace, where it could not make any progress in won position. To see the real win was just too deep. When approaching the 50 moves rule, Yace sacced a pawn, to see the progress some moves later. Sure, it can also happen the other side around: You sac more and more of the advantage, until you get lost. I think, this case is much more rare in the context of the 50 moves rule, but I have seen it in the case of trying to avoid repetions. BTW. I also had the bug with the checkmate in the 100th ply ...
