These are questions only the programmer could answer.

>Will it play better chess against humans ?

S9 will lose much less games versus "Anti-Computer-Chess" players. It will throw
away much less games now. Of course it may lose a game from time to time, but
less than S8. Because S9 is stronger than S8 it will of course play better
versus humans because of that reason as well.

PS: btw, there seems to be a bug in a popular GUI if Shredder plays versus a
human. I saw a game of Anti-Comp-Chess where Shredder UCI lost against a human
on time in the 256 move. This is impossible in its own GUI as far as I know. But
I only have one game, not enough to really track the error.
