There is a decent chance that Shredder 6 just got lucky:

C:\chess\wb422>stronger.exe
Player A may be stronger than player B or may have won by luck.
How many times has A won? 6
How many times has B won? 2
How many draws (preferably an even number)? 4
Our computation will be based on the score 8 - 4
If A and B had the same strength, the probability of A
obtaining this score (or better) would be equal to 19.4%.
