This is a position that Pro Deo 1.1 Vulcan seems to like! I don't know what the
opening theory says about the position, Blumenfeld variation of the Meran Semi
Slav, but if 16.Nxd4 is is not yet in the Shredder books I think it should be!
My Shredder 9 UCI standard book seems to end with 12..Qb6 by the way?
