I would suspect that _all_ chess programs have some 'fuzzy logic' in them.
one example is recognizing the stonewall pattern.  If you require the exact
pawn structure, you get zapped if he forgets to push the c2 pawn to c3 for
example.  If you 'fuzzy match' one pawn missing doesn't invalidate the
pattern.

I certainly do it...
