The prgram assumed it had a worse position, and when you gave it the opportunity
to repeat moves, it did so.
This is a bug, in my opinion. It is easy to set a program so it won't do this,
and even if you choose to keep things the way they are, Shredder's scoring
shouldn't allow it to call it a draw in a game with that much play left.
