Jeroen, I was referring to what happened in the game against DJ (computer hang
in a lost Smirin position).
And also the fact that the opening book in shredder's first game was not
properly selected.
Moreover we can add the strange behaviour of Gambit Tiger in taking that Rook
(different behavior noticed in several GT setup).
