I watched this game live and I was quite sure, that Shredder will lose, when I
noticed that Qxb4,cxb4 as well as Bxf3 are all losing. But Shredder found
interesting Bc4, which saved the game. Question: was it counted or was it book?
I checked position with 4 programs on AMD 450Mhz:

Fritz6a       30m -Qxb4
Crafty 17.10  30m -Qxb4 (149m -Ba2)
Junior6a      16m -Qb3
              20m -Ba2
Lg2000 v2.9   13m -Bc4

As normally Goliath is the fastest in tactical counting. I wonder if Ba2
is even better move than Bc4?
