This is obvious that the only evaluation that you can trust is when an iteration
is finished.

Shredder saw that one move is losing and changed its mind.

Nothing special.

It may be more interesting if it is possible to compose a position when the
evaluation of top programs are something like this at the end of the iterations:
+2.45/1
-1.54/3
+1.65/5
-1.43/8
+1.34/10
-2.45/13
+1.32/15
