Wow , didn't you get some unfriendly answers ;-) ?

Just to mention : nowhere in this post is anything said that claims this Russian
program is stronger than Shredder .

It is also obvious that the Author's native language is not English : maybe a
little tolerance would be nice sometimes ...

As I see it in a short private test Shredder lost 4 consecutive games by what
seems to be a pattern to the observer and the author was excited and posted. I
am looking forward to see this program play in a tournament ; there are not
_that_ many programs that can do this trick ( and please no statistics lesson ,
guys :-) ) .
