It is irrelevant because of the number of games. Last night I played Shredder 4 against Shredder 5 at blitz just to see if there really is an improvement. In the first 10 games Shredder 4 won +5 -1 =4 (7-3). When I woke up this morning the score was: +32 -21 =27 (45.5-34.5) with Shredder 5 winning! If I had trusted the first 10 games I would have been very disappointed in Shredder5. Another warning! The ERT is making errors in scoring mates. Check your games when there is a mate involved. Most games are shortened by the "Threshold score" but if it does go to mate there may be an error in the way it awards the win. Jim
