Here is an anlaysis of shredder 2 plies before on p200 Shredder5.32 cannot see the winning material move except depth 1 when shredder believes that Nxd5 is losing a piece. It is not winning a piece but I am almost sure that it is possible to change the position such that shredder is going to miss winning a piece.
