Stuart,

This is what I've managed to piece together:

Shredder was white playing against Jonny.  Shredder was winning but close to the
end a bug in Shredder's code meant that it allowed Jonny the opportunity for a
draw by 3 fold repetition.  Jonny didn't recognize the draw - the Fritz GUI that
Jonny was using did recognize the draw.  Jonny's opperator made the move that
leads to the draw.  This is the incorrect way of claiming the draw - he should
have announce that he was claiming the draw *before* making the move.  This gave
Shredder a second chance and Jonny was soon mated.

Hope this is correct.

Regards,

Steve
