I think that if engines simply play faster when they detect blocked position it will be hard to beat them. Looking at your game you only win by one of the following ways: 1)Win on time. 2)Win because of stupid mistake when the program searchs to depth 1 in serious time trouble and make stupid sacrifices. 3)Win because the program disconnect. Drawing by antichess may be easy for you but I do not believe that getting more than a draw is easy at 3 minutes per game if the program use for every move 1/500 of the remaining time. Of course playing so fast is disaster against programs so it may be done only if the program detects blocked position(The program may decide to play faster only if in the game there was a position with at least 40 plies with no capture and no pawn move and both white and black have at least 5 pawns). I did not calculate statistics about it but I think that this condition does not happen often in comp-comp games. Uri
