Well, Shredder ripped up his king box like ... (recalling a scene from 'Back to
the Future'):
"He'll rip through us like we were tinfoil"

But I thought for his awkward position, he defended remarkably well.  The knight
capture was certainly *a* fatal blow (though may not be the first mistake).
Even at that, it isn't really a blunder.  It takes quite some computer effort to
see how bad the result is.
