As someone who is not a big fan of shredder and as someone from Israel
I am happy with the result.

I do not like to see shredder wins again and again when it is clear from results
of the ssdf and other people who play comp-comp games that there is no big
difference between the level of shredder and the other top commercial
programs(shredder even seems to be slightly inferior relative to Fritz).

I hope that programmers do something against the opening preperation of
shredder.

I guess that at world championships shredder gets often positions that the
opponent does not know to play(for example it got in this tournament against
Junior position that Junior did not know to play).

It is not the first time that it happens and I know about a previous case when
Junior blundered in the opening against shredder but fortunately it played well
enough to win a lost position(shredder lost a position that it evaluated as +5).

It seems to me that it is not luck but opening preperation.
