Furthermore, the site suggests that Ruffian 2 is rated slightly *higher* >than Shredder, an idea I find ludicrous. Ignore the rating The site admits that shredder's rating is an estimate that is not based on games. Let look at the results 1)Shredder8 is not used 1: Shredder 7.04 44.5 / 64 2: Aristarch 4.50 42.0 / 64 I cannot get conclusions based on these results. Based on another rating list I find http://f27.parsimony.net/forum67213/messages/3589.htm 1 Shredder 8.0 : 2764 47 55 130 68.1 % 2632 33.1 % 4 Aristarch 4.50 : 2693 54 53 130 58.1 % 2637 25.4 % Uri
