The following game was played on ICC at the time control of 5 min + 5 secs. I
thought it unusual that a computer would take its own King on such a walk (from
c8 to d1).

[Site "?"]
[Date "27/3/2005"]
[Round "?"]
[White "guest999"]
[Black "Shredder 9 UCI"]
[Result "*"]
[Opening "C08 French: Tarrasch, Open, 4.ed ed"]

And Black soon won.
Anyone else seen such a king walk very often? It seems to me it is rare in
computer chess.
