Hi Uli,

in Shredder there is an option to quit a game in the autoplayer if the game is
decided, which means that Shredder's last score was either below -7.0 or above
+7.0 pawn units. So Shredder can also claim a win :-) I know that this is not
perfectly fine, but it helps to reduce testing time and I think 7 pawns ahead
should be enough. If somebody doesn't like this, he can just switch this feature
off, it is optional.

I have tested the final position of this particular game with a beta version of
Shredder3, the results for Shredder2 should be similar.
I used a P166 with small hash tables, for a P200MMX just divide the times by 2.

Here is the output:

(sorry for using the German version of Shredder, S means N, D means Q, T means R
and L means B)

So according to Shredder, this position is clearly won.

Hope this helps
