I did not buy shredder8 and I have no commercial interest to convince people to
buy it but you talk about things that you know nothing about them.

You say:"little work done on the engine".

This is something that you cannot know.
bigger improvement does not mean more work and you cannot decide based on the
improvement how much work was done.

Even if the engine has the same strength it does not mean that the engine is the
same and we do not know that the engine has the same strength but only that the
difference is too small to prove it by the ssdf games.
