Even though Falcon was running on a slow processor (2400 MHz, and 256 MB RAM),
in the endgame it was reaching 20 plies at least (usually outsearching DIEP), so
it played tactically very well in the late endgame.

DIEP had one or two chances for reaching a clearly won position. For example, it
shouldn't have exchanged the rooks. b4 would have resulted in a clear win in my
opinion.

Up to the point where Falcon lost a pawn, it was practically playing against
itself, as it expected _all_ the moves of DIEP (in its ponder move).
