 It doesn't matter. That Dann says, is the most important. Knowing your opponent
is one of the most important things in Chess. And Hydra team does not only know
the playing style of Shredder, but actually can play millions of games against
Shredder 8 and tune Hydra for being ready against "him".
 The only hope for Shredder is that SMK would have changed Shredder X enough
that it's style and strength would be significantly different and better from
Shredder 8.
