I have played the older version on ICC several times, and I suspect my quad opteron would give _that_ version (I forget the handle they used back then) fits. But without knowing or having seen the current thing at all, I wouldn't bet anything on winning or losing. Be safer to flip a coin and call "edge" rather than heads or tails. Too little information. A gut feeling is that it is _very_ strong however. Shredder is _never_ an easy program to beat, even with a hardware advantage. Hydra may be a real killer box. We have had 'em in the past. Belle. Deep Thought. Deep Blue. HiTech. Etc..
