DM vs. Pocket Fritz (Shredder) in 10-minute, part 2

   In a [1]post several days ago, I presented the following sequence of
   moves:
   DM-Pocket "Fritz", g/10:
   1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.Nf3 e6 5.Be2 Ne7 6.O-O c5 7.c4 Nd7 8.Nc3
   dxc4 9.d5 exd5 (novelty) 10.Nxd5 Nxe5 11.Nxe5 Qxd5 12.Bxc4 Qxe5
   13.Bb5+ Nc6 14.Re1 Be4 15.f3 Rd8 16.Bxc6+ bxc6 17.Qe2 (eventually
   1/2-1/2)
   and challenged readers to find improvements for White. During the game
   I felt sure after 9.d5 that I should have at least a small edge, and I
   felt happy about my moves when playing them. Despite that, I
   "awakened" around move 15 or 16 to realize that Black was slightly
   better, and it was time to earn the draw. (Which I did.)
   [2]Here are my findings; readers are encouraged to offer further
   improvements.
