hi pablo,
i remember when dedicated chess computers started gaining some real strenth
and poularity people shared there pet lines that resulted in these
sort of positions.
sort of hey look at this.it was concidered a novelty.exploiting
known weaknesses.
some machines had quirks that when you played a certain legit line
they would allways blunder into a lost position.
i recall in the early software days there were programs prone to this.
again look at this.
todays programs have there own oddities.
with a little patience and a lot of practice i too could sweat out
 a win or two,and a handfull of draws.
i think the reason many programers dont bother with anti-blocking code
is that they realize 99.9999999% of users use the software as it was
intended.
to play real chess at realistic time controls.
now when you win that million dollar internet bullet tournament
that will be a different story.
regards
mike
