I reckon it's not a computer's decision to get into an inferior position. While the position was closed, black steadily improved his position. White (shredder) was outplayed in the (closed) opening. Black (Human) opened the position, he had a clear advantage and actually had to open the position to cash in. Then he made human-errors.

Adams is a Super-GM (top-10) and he made mistakes also. How many humans are there left who can fight computers in open positions. That is: not making a single mistake? Kramnik did okay in his match vs D.Fritz, and so did Kasparov. Anand also in his match against Rebel (seems very long time ago). But fewer and fewer humans can do this. RickH PS. Shredder won the tournament with 8.5/10 that is including its lost game where it blundered a piece. It is 2.5 points clear of number two, with an tourn. perf of about 2760. >Uri
