OK, I guess I have to make a FAQ for it:

The last Shredder version Marcus Kästner got was Shredder 4.16 from June, but
even this version is no longer running legally since about August because of a
time bomb.

So Marcus Kästner could have tested this version against other programs of that
time. If I understood Christophe right there was no Gambit Tiger available at
this time.

Gambit Tiger and the new Rebel are problably very strong and I would like to see
results of Shredder against this programs, but unforunately this is not yet
possible for me or somebody else.

If Tiger and/or Rebel are stronger that Shredder5 I certainly wouldn't be very
happy but I could live with that, but right now there is nobody who can give us
any hint concerning this.

I don't thing that Tiger and/or Rebel need faked test results to proof their
strength.
