A friend reported similar results for a match comet-wb - Shredder5 (2:24 IIRC).
Peculiar enough when he started playing manually a few games between the same
engines (i.e. not using the wb-interface of the shredder5-gui) the result was
totally different.
In view of your report, I am now inclined to suspect that the wb-interface of
shredder5 could have some problem but I don't know anything because I don't have
shredder available to trace the interface.
Or could it really be the "new" command spoiling matches this much ?
