There's really no such thing as a World Champion program by that definition. We do not know about changes and modifications made on the program during the event. Let's hope this doesn't lead to internal rivalry among the different Shredder versions. Actually, it's very comparable to say Formula One. The version of the car isn't terribly important, Ferrari is current champion. Was there enough races to prove that with certainty you may ask? Maybe not, but everyone knows and accepts the conditions when participating. >There should have been another WCCC immediately.

Yes. >And of course it is highly improbable that Shredder has been improved ever >since. It doesn't matter if the commercial version of Shredder tops the SSDF list or not. The commercial version isn't playing and the conditions of play are wastly different. And SSDF isn't a branch of ICCA. The SSDF is a private organization that does a tremendous job of testing most commercial and some free programs. However, it does not constitute a qualification tournament for anything. It's a consumer measuring device and nothing else. Mogens.
