I think this is quite a good result for Pharaon. DS5 was using the Fritz 1
openings (only) though. The match was without pondering, on P3/700 MHz, 3 min +
2 sec.
In the shortest game from that match, DS5's queen was caught (it probably
wouldn't have happened with a larger book for Shredder, but it's still
remarkable how fast Pharaon won IMO):

Two nice positions from that match (keep in mind that was under blitz time
controls; Pharaon played both moves after only 3 seconds):

26...Rxc2+!, announcing mate already.

DS5 had just evaluated +2.41, but lost quickly after Pharaon's 50...Nxg3!
