No, that's clearly a bug in the programming. Once the king got to the back rank, it immediately promoted a pawn.

Anecdotic evidence doesn't prove much.

So your suggestion is that the computer intentionally made dozens of bad moves, consecutively?

If that is a legitimate game, then it's pretty convincing evidence of a programming bug.

My longest game is against EASY, 140+ moves, blitz, I lost on time when comp promoted to bishops 3 or 4 of his pawns.

Pretty loling, but it's ok. It never happens 2 times in a row. But I've already managed to play exactly the same game against comp.
