Yes, in Shredder 7 & 8, only the PV is reliable. This is true for some other engines too. For example, I noticed this in my matches with Friz 6a and Nimzo 7.32. (http://www.correspondencechess.com/campbell/ham/ham.htm). But the a-pawn losing move that was second in move-ordering was the PV of the second line of the move ordering sequence. All the best, Stephen
