Hi!

I strongly disagree. Do you really think this is fair? Everyone knows the
strength of Shredder4. For me it looks that they for some reason don't like the
publishing of the results for the "weaker" programs.

If Cb released one weaker engine, should we don't publish the results for that
engine?
