Subject: Looking for a position

Hi I am looking for this position.

I think it's a game between 2 computer chess programs in the 1970s. Where one
side played a completely losing move blundering away a "rook"? for no reason.

Everyone thought it was a bug (including watching GMs) untill the log files
revealed that the program actually saw that it's opponent had a hard to see
winning forced tactic that would cause it to lose more than a "rook".

Of course, a human player would play a normal move and hope that his opponent
missed that tactic.

Does anyone know which position I'm talking about?
