BUT since: A)Shredder's book was available for studying it and i don't think that the modification you played was something totally different..... B)Shredder 9 is available for testing and finding holes-weak parts at it and the exact Shredder 9 played this last tournament...... C)Shredder didn't played using 16 CPU's or 32 CPU's....... D)Hydra isn't available for testing and finding holes-weak parts at it..... E)Hydra's book, even a modification of it, isn't available...... i think Shredder is far on top............ And since i didn't know that Shredder 's version that played against Hydra the 8 match and lost was a "buggy" (whatever this mean) version, i can strengthen my opinion about this matter....... > >> >> >>>This kind of positions are not frequent, so to take a single game as "rule" is >>>wrong to me. >>> >>>> >>>>Remember Deep Blue in New York. >>>> >>>> >>>>Sure I would like there to be such an event, but I am afraid it will not be. >>> >>>I believe there will be; maybe in summer. >>> >>>> >>>>Ernst. >>> >>>Sandro
