I agree.

The fact that the only program Gulko has beaten is a multiple computer chess
champion implies that Shredder has been written from the ground up to play other
computers, and not humans.

Having said that, congratulations are certainly very much in order for GM Gulko!
For any human to beat a top chess program these days (without prior access to
opening book) is a REAL achievement - especially at medium time controls.
