The problem with that list is the same as the one above.  It does not include
Shredder 8.  So the question is not answered by either list.  However in my
blitz database Shredder 9 is running about 30 Elo above Shredder 8.  I only have
a couple hundred games as I had to restart all games after playing over 500
games with Shredder 9.  I did this because Shredder 9 draws games it should have
won in tablebases when using 5/0 time control.  I have started playing 5/1 blitz
games and it cures the problem.
