From what Ingo Bauer said
(http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?379230) it is simply some other
engine, neither Shredder 8, nor Shredder 7:

SMK told me (about the 100 - 150 Elo) and there are several report in different
"german" chess magazines!

The good news is that some tests indicate the the difference is smaller than the
"official" number. But there is a difference for sure!
