I fully agree with this. That's why I think the advertising is more than just a
bit misleading:

Chess System Tal was recently entered into the Paris Computer Chess
Championship. Here, it was placed an overall 10th out of 34 entrants due to “an
almighty bug”, as the author Chris Whittington described it, which affected the
program so much that it is incredible that it was able to play chess at all. Had
the bug been detected before the tournament, it is possible that Chess Tal would
have been overall winner.
