I'll ask yet again. Please stop jumping into threads where you don't have a clue about the topic. A mate in 18 will typically need a maximum search depth of 36 plies to find it. 32 plies is less than 36 plies. You didn't let shredder go deep enough to prove there is no mate. Even worse, since shredder uses forward pruning, there is no telling how deep it might have to go to find that mate... I don't know why you keep jumping into random threads, and trying to argue a point that has nothing to do with anything, offering evidence that is clearly worthless. It needs to stop. Sooner rather than later...
