I doubt it...and even if it did, would that make it the best move? Well no, it
wouldn't. Wrong technique...Kg4! is best, period. Youl'd know that if you're
above 2000.

I suppose you're trying to tell me Shredder 8 _knows_ better than me?

No program _knows_ more than I in these positions. In fact no program has even
100th of what I know of chess. What they can do better than me is not making a
careless error in short and mid-range tactics, that's all.
