We can guess that it is number 4 after Fritz,Junior and Tiger because if you download the ssdf list in Dos format you can see that number 4 is missing. Fritz, Junior and Tiger of the ssdf did not play in the last WCCC so it is possible that Shredder was the best software in WCCC if you ignore the hardware advantage of part of the other players. Another reason for Shredder's success may be better opening preperation. I am not talking about preperation to get good positions out of book but preperation to get positions that the opponent does not understand out of book. I guess that this reason helped Shredder to win WCCC against better players. I guess that Shredder was worse than Fritz or Junior from WCCC because of the fact that Fritz and Junior had better hardware but the propgrammer of Shredder knew to push fritz and Junior to positions that they did not understand and this is the reason that Shredder won.
