It was not my intention to prove it.
This is the line that your Shredder 7.04 evaluates -0.18
after 27:54 minutes of search:

1.Qc4+ Bf7 2.Qc7 Rc8 3.Qxa5 Kh8 4.Rc7 Bxb3 5.Rfc1 Qxc1+ 6.Rxc1
  =  (-0.18)   Depth: 15/47   00:27:54  241582kN

and his line was

00:01:28.7	0.09	14	65827734	Qc4+ Bf7 Qc7 Rc8 Qxa5 Bxb3 a4

So Shredder would play the move 1.Qc4+ for the wrong reasons.
