    Do you really think that we have cheated to prove something? I am indeed
    disappointed about this statement. It looks as if you do not like at all
    Shredder704 and would prefer to see another engine at top. We [Rolf Bühler
    and myself are not testers for SMK or ChessBase] and our only interest is
    to find out how strong the latest engines are, thus contributing a bit to
    bring light in the jungle of computer chess. As to strategy/knowledge of
    Shredder704 you can look a the CSS-WM-Test.
