I'm not sure: +50 seems to be a bit risky to me, as an expectation for chess
software on the same computer. Maybe soon, maybe never...

IOW. I suspect that there must be an upper limit somewhere, when programmers
cannot achieve more than a few points per version anymore. But I don't know
where that limit is, or if Shredder 8 is already near to it. It is possible IMO.

Of course I'd appreciate when that limit is still far away! :-)
