You are quite possibly writing yourself into trouble you know, because if
neither you nor Stefan are lying, then you obtained a copy of the latest version
illegally. I haven't noticed you mention that you claimed Stefan had sent it to
you, only that you had tested it.

Any prediction on the outcome of a 9 round Swiss, in which several players of
similar strength are participating, involves a good deal of luck. Kudos to
Stefan for winning the title, but it could easily have been otherwise. Look at
the games.
As for Shredder's endgame play, I think it is at a higher level than its
opponents. It didn't save its game against Rebel through luck. It's ability to
save that game wasn't due to some magic 'swindle' algorithm, but due to superior
knowledge that allowed it to create saving possibilities. Had Rebel had the same
knowledge, it would have won, but it didn't (no offense, Ed).
This is also how some GMs 'swindled' Junior in the endgame in Dortmund. No luck
involved, they just did it better.
