I believe that the following claims are correct:

1)The move Bxh6 was wrong but shredder blundered later(I suggested 17...Ne8
instead of 17...Nh7)

2)Shredder searched 15.Bxh6 to reduced depth but this is not the reason for
playing 14...Qc7(otherwise shredder could see a drop in the score immediatly
after 15.Bxh6 and it did not happen)
