Again, over the last 4 years, shredder {x} won three of the four tournaments,
and finished right at the top in the other one. That is pretty convincing.
Shredder 3 thumped everyone during its "time". Shredder 4 did the same thing
last year. We don't have shredder 5, but past history is usually a pretty
good indicator. It doesn't take much to extrapolate that it may well be the
best again _this_ year. in 7 months or so there will be another WMCCC event.
We get one more data point.
