From your analysis deep shredder needs depth 13 to see negative score after the
first 5 moves but shredder saw even bigger positve score in the root position
and only at depth 15 the score was significantly better for black than the score
of the root position.

Fritz7 needs depth 15 after the first 5 plies so maybe it needs depth 20 to find
the move.
