I can't really argue, since the position was won for DJ, and GM Smirin did
resign! See Conclusion #3

It must be noted that DJ, and Hiarcs 8 have played two very strong GM's. And
have not be beat yet.

Gambit Tiger was not allowed to play a fair match by human mistakes.

Shredder was the only program that was beaten fairly, but still is only -1 and
played with a GM level result.
