Which version of Shedder 9 are you using - ChessBase or UCI?  I have not had a
problem with the UCI version.  Maybe the Chessbase GUI is buggy and not the
engine - just a thought.

As regards the mate in 150 - I think you'll find that whenever Shredder 9
annouces mate in 150 there will indeed be a mate announcement.  The "150" figure
can be interpreted as "a mate - but I'm not sure what depth".

Regards,

Steve
