Eric,
I believe most programs are susceptible to good kside attacks, when certain
criteria are met. Doesn't happen very often, though.
Since you brought it up, take a look at this game between crafty 16.1, running
on a K6/300, and Amateur. (It's my first win against a full-strength crafty
running on fast hardware. Ernest2computer is a new account with only 10 blitz
games, hence the *relatively* mediocre rating. Least I hope that's the reason).
