The problem in ordinary games played on two machines using Permanent Brain (=
thinking on opponent's time) is that you will never know exactly how long the
program pondered the position (at least not from looking at the PGN) and which
information in its hash tables influenced its evaluation.
Therefore there may be moves which you cannot reproduce in post-game analysis.
It's a very rare thing to happen, but happen it does.
