But in that postion it is also the kingsafety why  Shredder give a higher valeu
then other programs for that postion
Shredder gives penaltys against the King in the Centre.
I once analyzed the postion and White does have an advantage but back then
Shredder it self didn't realy know how to keep it  .
So more moves need to be inserted to make the verdict clear.
Or it must be so Schredder now finds the way to keep it.
