Shredder9 is leading 15-11 against Shredder7.04 in another match.
You cannot decide which version of shredder is the stronger based on one match.

The main problem is that games are not independent events.

Note that for me more interesting data is rating of the engine based on random
opening positions from GM games and no learning.

At least in that case the expected error will be smaller.
