I firstly pasted my first game v s9.1 yesterday with all logs ect but it came up
and seemed unreadable on here so decided for everyone`s easy viewing that i`ll
delete the logs and just paste the pgn instead. That`s honest. Secondly, you may
all wonder if something fishy is going on. The truth is i played my first 5 min
game on 1MB hash as i thought i might have a better chance of winning. So that`s
what was fishy. Shredder still played reasonable moves though. Qg2 was one of my
best moves ever. The game is posted on ccc a few days back.

The second game was weird. I expected to do well after unexpectadely winning the
first but not to gain such an overwhelming position after thinking i had taken
the anti-chess theory to far. Realising my score was -11.00 at one stage.
Shredder played cxb3 and it DID come up in the log with a search depth of 4 and
played it! THIS IS FACT. Maybe as it was running low on time because of my
"unsound moves". After i played g6 shredder was in trouble and this was
confirmed by its evaluation going from -/+11.00 to +/- 10.00 in a matter of 2
moves. I actually freaked out when it played cxb3 and considered Qd6 or Bd6 the
strongest. I honestly think shredder played a bad move as a result of limited
time and a possible poor king safety evaluation which is always the hardest
element for a program to understand.
