I can add that Shredder also likes 9.c5 at fast time control and the same for
other moves that are mentioned like 13.Bd3 and I remember that it also liked
initially 34.Bh4 without learning(of course after positional learning take
effect shredder may not like 34.Bh4 but I still can reproduce it after some
analysis so this game show no positional superiority of Shredder)
