I think, it is a typical time usage of Shredder for "easy moves". I have been
surprised by this, too in some games I looked at.
When I start Shredder to analyse the 2 best moves in this position, I get:
[German piece symbols]
12 3:53 -1.48 35.Kd1 Se3+ 36.fxe3 fxe3 37.Lxe3 dxe3 38.Dxe3 Le8 39.Ta1 Lh5
40.Lxb7 (10.091.277) 43.2
12 5:22 -2.94 35.Kf1 Se3+ 36.Lxe3 fxe3 37.f3 c6 38.Le4 Txg5 39.Dc8+ Kg7
40.Lxg6 Txg6 (13.963.951) 43.2
This is the depth reported in the PGN. So, it looks not unlikely, that this 1.5
pawn difference can trigger an "easy move time usage" (although I think, that it
will be done in a different manner technically).

Dieter
