which unfortunately is not included in shredder8 :-(

it had nothing to do with "4 or 5 plies". in a level position it displayed
something like +0.3 for white, but the PV behind this position simply blunders a
piece. but - i'm sorry! - i forgot to save the position. if i ever see this
happen again, i will keep it. of course it is quite likely that S8 saw something
i overlooked...
despite this i wrote my post because i saw another post mentioning nonsense
variations in S7.

cheers
