No doubt, but that does not answer the question whether Shredder5 is the
strongest program available. Although, referring to the author, Shr5 isn't
available yet so it can't be the strongest prog available. :-)
Even if it were, this one Championship does not prove it, not enough games. Even
the two wins of Gambit Tiger in France and NL aren't enough.
Concerning the way how Shredder5 won the WCh, just look how GT won the other two
Chpships...
