Yes, it was a surprise. How did you guess? It is clear that shredder was not the best because other programs like Ferret and the chessbase programs had hardware advantage that could give them more than 50 elo and the difference between shredder4 and the top programs of that time on equal hardware is not bigger than 50 elo(for example the difference between shredder4 and Fritz5.32 is probably less than 50 elo). Do you believe that stefan forced luck by good opening prepration? Did stefan planned the openings to push the opponents to positions that they do not understand? Uri
