The only exception is Shredder 8. So, considering that powerbook is very wide and therefore the chances to "get damaged" by the book are high, the score of DF 8 and DJ 8 are not surprising me. Probably Shredder got not damaged the same getting playble variations and being able to win or not to loose. This is what I always stated because it came out from my tests 28 years ago and recently too. Sandro
