I believe that if you add programs the right knowledge they can solve fine-70 by
search without transposition table.

If they try to search 26 plies brute force search with no pruning and no
extensions then I expect them to have problems.

I do not know about a single program with the right knowledge to solve fine 70
without transposition table but it does not mean that there is no program.
