I am telling you why Shredder 9 may have not a very good start. Shredder 7.04 was lucky to have found a weakness in Junior 9. Shredder 9 may will too or not. I did not tested against it so I do not know. I only know that will win. You are wrong in making conclusions in one match only... How do you explain than Shredder 7.04 is loosing against Shredder 9? Shredder 9 is the strongest Shredder and is about 30 points stronger than Shredder 8 as people found out here too. I say about because I am not interested in finding out exactly. I am already working on Shredder 10... Shredder 7.04 is weaker than Shredder 8, running in the same GUI. Sandro
