I do not agree
I know that shredder has a specific code against trojan horse
sacrifices when fritz does not have it.

I believe that fritz is simply a better program than shredder
and it is the reason that humans have problems against fritz.

I guess that the reason that shredder wins almost
every world championship is better opening preperations
against specific computer opponents.
