I did guessed the SSDF rating of Shredder 7 CB, Shredder 7.04 UCI and got very close to Shredder 8 CB ( + - 10 points). Not to mention that several people were joking about my expectations saying several "funny" things... Uri did claim that he did not believe me and after that was forced to admit I was correct... How can you guess a rating with a bigger margin? It would sound like a player from 2000 to 2700 Elo... Sandro
