Shredder's strength in endgames and his resistance in difficult positions reminds me of Capablanca (remember the famous book "Capablanca's lost games"). In the tournament hall around move 35 to 38 of the playoff only one guy was firmly convinced that Shredder would not loose: Carsten Bauermeister. He had operated Shredder in several German tournaments, and he said: Shredder is only one pawn down, and the endgame is still to come. So Shredder should make a draw. Ingo Althofer.
