This makes it a real commodity to supercede all earlier programs in rating points etc. I'm sure that Junior and Hiarcs and Fritz and Tiger etc. desperately intended to be the leader in the rating lists, but Shredder 7.04 is still slightly ahead, even of its more recent rivals. True, the top programs are often beating Shredder in singal games, but so would programs of 2-3 years ago do that sometimes. Anyway, to be ballanced, I still give credit of up to 50 elo points for greater daring in playing style, so if a program is REALLY daring and shows great judgement but falls 25 elo behind Shredder 7.04, I would still consider that daring program as about 25 elo points ABOVE Shredder 7.04, because adventurousness makes it harder to gain elo points, but potentially it is worth more, e.g. if on very long time controls. Still, I wanted to comment that I'm not sure that junior 8 or Hiarcs 9 have surpassed Shredder 7.04? HAVE they (perhaps in adventurousness)? S.Taylor
