No, haven't had the time to look over the games, only the first one which
Shredder won but already came out of book with +1 and a strong positional move
in a Sicilian. At the moment I am not sure if the default style "aggressive" is
the strongest and should be used or "normal" is the better choice. However, at
least in the first game Shredder really played agressively. Don't have the game
here by hand at work so unfortunately I cannot post the notation, maybe this
evening or tomorrow morning. Hopefully there are three more games finished when
I get home in 4-5 hours and have the time to take a look at the games. Probably
it's best to post the games directly and not after the complete 10-game-match,
there seems to be much interest in Shredder 5.32... :-)
