Yes, its true.  And, if you keep playing for a while, you'll
notice many other weird things that happen, in certain
circumstances.  Like pieces flying all over the board! 
Maybe that's how they programmed it to resign...;)

Actually, it uses an old version of gnuchess too...I've
looked at the code, but haven't had the energy to fix it..I
wish someone would so that I can play over a few games of
Fischer-Spassky II...
