I do not remember a tournament in the last year when chessmaster finished in the first place(if you talk about history then chessmaster6000 was also the leader of the ssdf list). I remember that Gambittiger scored some points more than chessmaster in the last tournament and it was only gambittiger1 and not gambittiger2. I think that the question should be asked about shredder and not about chessmaster. Shredder always get good results when stefan is responsible. When stefan is not involved shredder suffers(in the 2 hours per move that is posted here shredder has no chance) If it was one tournament I could say that it is luck but when it happens again and again when even old Shredder version like Shredder4 got first place on ICC tournament and Shredder3 got second place in the previous ICC tournament(Shredder4 was available at that time) then I start to suspect that it is because of some secret opening book.
