This is a 6 piece ending.  Do you have the 6 piece files?  If so you would know
this is a _forced_ mate.  Since you don't have them, you don't know a thing
other than what Shredder knows, and since it can't search deep enough to see the
forced mate, it doesn't have a clue here.

For the last time, _stop_ arguing just for the sake of arguing...
