HGMuller, how far into a game will that be evident? I didn't detect anything like that happening in the first 8 moves of a simulation that I tried.

(In the example you provided, you say "...attack that knight with your queen. The engine will ignore it." This may be optimal play for the side with the engine)

I certainly believe an engine (as described previously) will falter at some point, but wondering how far into a game is it expected?

For me nothing was evident in the early stages. I could not find a way to out-smart the engine in the opening phase of the game.
