I did not try to solve the position but I read that there is a beautiful zunzwang so it seems to be a bad idea to use null movers like shredder. The only program that I would try to solve it instead of you are Junior,Rebel and Chessmaster because Junior and Rebel are not null movers and chessmaster at least does not use null move in a stupid way like other programs because I know that it solved a study that other programs like Fritz could never solve because of null move problem. Chessmaster is also very good in finding mates. Uri
