Hehe, Shredder 8 says "Give me this position as Black, and I'll tear my opponent
into pieces", the best line after searching every possible decent line to ply 12
is:

... Qa5!! 2. a4!! Qb4!! 3. Qxd6!! Rc5!! 4. Rf3!! -0.82/12

[d]r5k1/3b1pp1/p2Qp2p/2r1P3/Pq3P2/1PpB1R2/2P3PP/1K1R4 b - - 0 4

Score: Black is winning by 0.82

Everyother decent choice of Black/White gives a nonperfect score (more advantage
to Black if while blunders and more advantage to white if Black blunders).

I let it only 5 plyes (At 12 per move) deep so we can have some fun: You try
using your program to find a better move for white (Since I'd be black) in the
slot you want (after Qa5!!), so we can know for sure what is the best line of
all (If you can prove mine isn't).

I really hope someone is up for playing this idea out, since testing new
Shredder 8 personalities (In tourneys) is starting to bore me. ;\
