IMO this is just a waste of time. You could have tested a strong amateur engine instead.

No wonder Junior 8 did not play against Shredder 7.04 nor Shredder 7. It did not play against a Chesstiger version too. Instead it played 60 games against Shredder 5/5.32, 52 games agsinst the old Fritz 5.32 on inferior hardware and 62 games against the old Nimzo 7.32 on inferior hardware.
