I still do not [and can't] believe that Shredder6 should be that weak. But
someone argued that Shredder6 should run under its own GUI and with ponder=on to
demonstrate full [best] strength. I don't see the point because Shredder6 has
been realeased by ChessBase with its own Shredder6-CB-GUI. But time will tell...
