In my opinion there are different reasons why Shredder8
won this match: the German program is very good at defence
- stronger than Junior9 - knows more about pawn structures
and plays the endgame better than Junior9 ... and some pawns
given away by Junior9 did not bring the expected result -:)
Maybe the difference between these two very strong engines
will become smaller at longer time controls.
