Can you define being lucky?

For me being lucky in case of no bugs is not a case when the opponent missed a
win because knowing to win won games is part of chess.

I think that you can say that a program is lucky if the  opponent outsearched it
when both sides do not understand the final position when later both programs
are surprised to find that the result is not what they evaluated.

It happened to an old piece square table version of movei with no hash tables in
a game against Nejmet.

Nejmet outsearched it and won a pawn only to find that the knight is trapped
so Nejmet lost the game.
