To correct some stupid mistakes.....

One thing is that perhaps Shredder at the tournament have seen further than 20
plies.....Another thing is that perhaps SMK is using another version of Shredder
9 (a slightly changed version).........

I don't have Shredder 9 so i can't test furhter from 20 ply.

 One important thing is with the amazing hardware power of Hydra, matches like
this, in my opinion, are not fair at all......
 I don't say that the result is not fair, but the conclusions are not, since
simply we can't compare Shredder as a programmed entity, with Hydra as a
programmed entity. Hardware differences makes the difference.......!
