I don't disagree.  Shredder is doing very well.  Rebel won a single game in a
match against the same exact program (while Crafty won the 6).

Shredder is getting an amazing 80k nps in most positions.  80k!  Crafty is
getting 1.9M in some positions, and the lowest NPS number I have seen from
crafty was about 1.2M.

I have even seen Shredder kill Crafty in a tactical match; which is
unbelievable.  At an 8x disadvatange, you'd think that these games would mostly
boil down to tactics, and of course Crafty would win.  Not so.

Shredder is brillant.  That's why it's the World champ & SSDF leader.
