You are welcome to match shredder 6 against SmarThink using the same time
control to see if shredder 6 performs better than Shredder Paderborn. I was
going to do that, but i decided to match SmarThink against Fritz 8 version 8.008
under the same condiction and SmarThink is playing a la par after 4 games so
far, I will post them later. If I increase the size of the Hash to 128 it might
affect SmarThink, but i will keep testing it under the same condiction for
comparison reason. I beileve that later on Fritz 8 will take the lead being much
stronger than shredder Paderborn or Hiarcs.
