If we take into consideration that Shredder 8 performance against a group of
Argentinian players with an average of less than 2600 didn't scored that great.
And recently Frcbaron played two games against GM Aronjan and had two draws.
Another thing to take into consideration is that Shredder is probably 250 rating
points higher than Baron 140 at standard Chess, and GM Svidler had a hard time
beating GM Aronjan. If a version of Chess960 or Frc-Shredder is ever develop the
chances of Kramnik or Kasparov beating it will be less than 40%.

PS: I also know that two games doesn't mean anything at all, but at least we got
an idea. Sorry I can't compare apples and oranges, since in Chess960 each
position has the same level of complication as the original position for
standard chess.
