Hi,

I do agree 100% with Jeroen.

About this game this is a superficial analysis.

The problem here was that Shredder book ended after move 6 and played moves
which are week and need a too deep analysis to be evaluated correctly. I mean
too deep for a chess engine.

So, the opening was not OK. It may look OK, which is something else.

This is my opinion.

To avoid these kind of problems I have been working a lot on my latest book!

Ciao
Sandro
