As far as Shredder 5.0 is concerned there are no killer variations. The book is
made mainly for the human players and with a lot of alternatives to make it play
different lines. There are very few very long variations. Of course there are
good move against weak ones, but not deep variations.
So, it is a sort of compromise to make the program fun to play with.
Since we drew 6 games and lost 7, there is still a a lot of room for
improvements...
