Hello Harald,

you are in ´good company´ with Shredder 8 ;-) -
both of you are wrong!

After 33...Lf7 it´s NOT #8 (your wrong guess)
After 33...Tc7 it´s NOT #7 (------ " -------)
After 33...De5 it´s NOT #7 (Shredders guess) ---> is indeed #8

I´ve tested all three moves (33...) with ChestUCI, and all of those three
pvs are not correct -
so not only Shredder but also you must have a bug. ;-)

Regards,
Franz.
