Vincent,

This does happen quite often with Shredder.  I am using v 7.04, and while I have
not witnessed losing with a + 6 evaluation, I have drawn more than a few games
where the evaluation was as high a +3.08.

This was obvious to me as an amatuer player observing the game.  The Shredder
evaluation is long known (at least to me) to be overly optimistic.
