      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.
