In actual games or prepared positions?
I was impressed by this gem of Crafty that Bob posted:
Earlier tonite, Crafty was involved in a match with GM Loek van Wely on
ICC. 5 3 time control, and crafty was winning about its normal percentage
against him (about 80%, match was 9 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw at the point
where the following game was played). In this game, Crafty was
in book until move 23. As we passed move 20, I was counting pawns
and pieces and concluded white was probably lost. At move 23,
Crafty's first search said -4.00, and I thought aha, book learning
to the rescue as this is dead lost. But without spoiling anything,
this was the result. :)
Actually, I will spoil it. At move 40, it announced a mate in 38 moves.
