me also. so we have different opinions. so what is your explanation?
the reason is, that shredder is 200 elo better?
that´s the reason why he is successful in tournaments?
or luck? did shredder have always luck?

and thats the reason why they win tournaments. so where is our disagreement?

ahhh!
and that is also the reason why fritz is missing every tournament victory
because his draw-rate is so very high.

that does not fit.

huh? what have i done?
i gave the explanation why shredder is so successful in tournaments.
what did i say against shredder?

do you mean i should say: "shredder is successful intournaments because he is
