shredder did not win this time this convincingly.
it had problems. of course one main reason why shredder wins, although
it begins weak is: that shredder has more knowledge. in middlegame
AND in endgame.

this is often important, even when your position is weaker.
i think tiger and rebel have a lack in those areas.
and thats the reason they have problems.

chances. chess is not throwing a coin. the coin gets thrown
each move. again and again,
until 40 times or more.
not one event. 70 events in one game.
if you lack knowledge, the chances that this could be a problem
are relevant more often than throwing ONE coin.
