Hi David,

it's still too early to write Shredder 8 off, but I've found it seems to perform
much more strongly at 40 moves in 2 hours as can be seen from Ray's current
tournament and Super Tournament III Final (see table below).

SUPER TOURNAMENT III FINAL

Athlon XP1900+
128mb hash or closest allowed for each engine
3,4,5 men tablebases
Ponder off
No learning
Engines using own books where able
List 512 using general.ctg
CM9000 Alliance using CM8000 book (manually converted)
CM10th Creep using powerbook with optimised settings
44 rounds at 40 moves in 2 hours repeating


Final Standings

31.0	- Shredder 8
28.5	- Deep Junior 8
23.5	- Deep Fritz 8
22.5	- CM10th Creep
22.0	- CM9000 Alliance
22.0	- Pharaon 3.00b
