GM Smirin, crushed Shredder 6 a couple of years back, it's not Shredder 7.04 but
he would bring it down in flames using the same method.

BTW just the fact alone Shredder is slightly ahead on SSDF, and it's not 50 pts.
either, about 26, does _not_ equate to the strongest programme,nor does it
indicate whatsoever it will do better than any other top software against a
human. It may or may not win a match with another programme but that is another
thing entirely.

Let's not mix apples with oranges.
