i had a game like that,,,it was the very first game i rybka 13d played
chessmaster ,,,,,rybka was winning +4 because it did not see chessmaster's
underpromotion that place its king in check which that changed everything and
rybka lost,,,,but rybka accepted chessmasters underpromotion,,,,,,,,i guess
situations like this are rare but they do happen,,,
