I remember the long lasting tournament of Thorsten Czub that ended with Shredder6 as the published winner. But in this tournament, Thorsten used Shredder4, Shredder5 and Shredder6. The latter however played two games only!! For me, this tournament had no winner at all. O.K., with F7002 and F7006 it's not exactly the same thing but nevertheless we think that best is to continue the tournament without any changes. Kurt
