I told this before the match started to Stefan, but he did not believed me because the bug was not coming out in blitz games and therefore could not be seen easily, but I was sure about it and did not know what to play either to avoid blundering in the game... Maybe Hydra would have won in any case, but this must be reported because it is true. I hope we will have a second chance to have a match against Hydra to see if it will win against us without a buggy program. About the game we lost in Paderborn, it came out a known weakness of Shredder on king side attacks. We will have to improve on that...
