I wonder what is the source for your confidence when you cannot know what the
opponents are going to do.

I am sure stefan plan to try to dominate but I think that you cannot have
confidence that he is going to be number 1 again.

My opinion is that both rybka and fruit seem to have better chances for first
place and it is clear that rybka1.2 is not the end of rybka improvements and the
author may release new version at the time of the release of shredder10 if he
finds that shredder10 is better.
