If SMK would compile his S8 with a value of 55 or lower as default you would
lose that bet!
Depending on what you consider comparable the value might be a bit higher or
lower.

Considering the human player as better because he find it in "normal" style is
not valid because he might not find 99% of all the other tactical positions that
Shredder will find in "normal" style.
