I saw cases when computers lost dead draw games. one of the cases was when chessmaster6000 lost a dead draw of king rook and 3 pawns against king rook and 3 pawns against Fritz5.32 in the ssdf games This is more simple draw then the draw in the game sorin-rebel. 8/4kp2/2R3p1/7p/r7/3K4/5PPP/8 w - - 0 1 greedy chessmaster lost with white by 40.g3 h4 41.Rc4 Ra3+ 42.Kd4 h3 43.Rc7+ Ke6 44.Rc6+ Kf5 45.Rc7 Kg4 46.Rb7 Kf3 47.Rxf7+ Kg2 48.Rf6 Kxh2 49.Rxg6 Kg2 and black won. Better hardware than p200 could help chessmaster to avoid the mistake that it did because it liked the king in the centre but the point is clear. computers sometimes do stupid mistakes in endgames.
