I can add that Fritz lost also a game in WCCC for sacrificing a pawn to diep for
no reason except losing the game.

I remember also a posted game when it lost against olithink for the same
reason(it used no book in that game but using no book is not a good reason to do
stupid error and it did not fall into a theoretical trap that is hard for
programs to avoid).
