In two Years Shredder has improved a lot, but can GM Smirin still beat Shredder
8 using the same hardware or one twiece stronger ? If you analyze this game with
Shredder 8 you will notice the difference in playing style and also Shredder8.
The question is are Programs really 2700 when paired against
experienced human players like GM Smirin Van Wely?
