But they do happen.  For instance, many programs will choose Kb3 for WAC.100 at
blitz time controls.  I am absolutely sure that this choice wins (if played
correctly), but the reason they have chosen it at blitz time controls is not the
right one.  For a few moves, they may have the pv right.  But at fast time
controls, you will likely see a draw if they choose it, because there are some
tricky choices down the line.

In the case of WAC.100, they usually choose it because they see the pawn snack.
