No... the Programs say that, Shredder says 150 sometimes..
It sees a Mate down the line, but not sure in how many so gives the Max.
As more moves are made, and it finds the correct continuation, it gives
the right amount.
Obviously, there are NO forcing lines for 150 moves.

BTW if you have a better explanation, please post it.
