Another problem is that programs in man vs machine or organized tournaments with
machines and Gm's the program always resigns too early, it resigns when its
'reasonable' to assume that it has lost, but infact not lost

the program doesn't mind playing for another 45 moves, but it seems its done out
of 'courtesy'

It seems the program resigns once its 'over the hill' but no one has ever had to
fight for the win, the GM might blunder in the next 45 moves, or get into time
trouble, they don't use the computers best strengths to the advantage
