A very nice game! There are two domains the computers are still weaker than
humans: closed positions (see my yesterday's game against Junior 8), and
endgames (your today's game against Shredder 7.04).

The decisive blunder of Shredder was at the following position:
[D]6k1/p4pp1/5n2/3pp2p/8/1PN1P3/P4PPP/6K1 b - - 0 23
Here it played 23... d4 which after 24. exd4 exd4 25. Nb5 d3 26. Kf1 a6 27. Nc3
reached:
[D]6k1/5pp1/p4n2/7p/8/1PNp4/P4PPP/5K2 b - - 0 27

Here black is already lost, since the d3 pawn is gone, and white has a decisive
queenside majority.
