While the game itself was odd, being that I was up +4 then was down -9 the move
list was even worse.
Here is the copy from the move list window:

It was as if Shredder was evaluating one move behind from the start, until
finally it caught and and saw it was about to get mated. When it did get mated
it was still evaluating Kh2 when it was _on_ Kh2.
Also I have noticed for some reason I have to refresh the board during the
opening or Shredder or Ruffian lost on time. It just freezes. All this since the
"bug fix" was released.
