Amazing blunder by Shredder

Lafuente,P (2435) - SHREDDER [E32]
Mercosur Cup Vicente Lopez ARG (3), 16.07.2005
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 d6 5.Nf3 Nbd7 6.Bd2 0-0 7.a3 Bxc3 8.Bxc3 Qe7 9.e3 b6 10.Be2 Bb7 11.0-0 Ne4 12.Nd2 Nxc3 13.Qxc3 c5 14.Bf3 Nf6 15.b4 Rac8 16.dxc5 dxc5 17.b5 Rcd8 18.Rad1 Rd6 19.Bxb7

















Lafuente just took black bishop on b7, and now computer had to recapture on b7. But Shredder played unexpectedly 19...Rfd8?? In official builten they said it wasn`t "mouse slip" or some other human factor. Shredder used more then 3 minutes for this move, and at the beginning he was calculating 19...Qxb7 deep down to 20 moves but then he drove his attention to the move which he finally played. His evaluation was that black has small advantage . After the game organizers have tested the critical position with Shredder again and they said this was the case which happens "ones in the milion"!
