I hope that Gandalf is going to win but I am not optimistic because it seems
that shredder is always better in the opening preperation(This is the only
explanation that I can find for the fact that shredder wins almost every
tournament in the last years including tournaments when other programs had
hardware advantage)

People who look only at the result of  comp-comp tournaments that stefan
participate in them(not tournament when every 2 programs play many games like
Enrique's tournament)  can think that shredder is at least 200 elo better than
the other commercial programs and the ssdf results prove that it was never the
case and that there is no program that is 200 elo better than the other top
programs.
