Yes, Karpov missed a win against Shredder. Perhaps he was short in time, and the
move 57. Qh7 is not easy to find on board when the clock is ticking away.
Karpov did an excellent job outplaying the machine positionally. This games
demonstrates that Shredder suffers the same problem which plagues other chess
engines, it allowed a kingside mating attack which Karpov missed his chance to
convert to a full point.
