Can someone tell me how Shredder can lose the following game? How can it make a
22 ply search (58 Bc2), get a score of 0.00 (probably correct) and then lose a
pawn and essentially the game 11 ply later? Why would it abandon the center and
essentially it's pawns for a walk on the Kingside with no opportunities there?
