Harald, I think that this is just wrong. Look for instance at Enrique's
tournament where Shredder-3 competed very well with the current top programs.
Your result 11:7 is not statistically significant.  At best you can conclude
that none of both programs is without chance against the other one.
May be, we have to wait for SSDF, but I expect that Shredder-3 will rank among
the Top-8.
