It happened to movei more than once in Leo's tournament.

see http://www.f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/messages/65910.htm for
the game that movei beated betsy and movei won against correct tablebase defence
in KQ vs KRP when the win took more moves than it needed but it is no big
problem.

It also happened in wbec in a game between movei and greenlight in the 4th
edition when movei won.
