No
Shredder suffered in that match from a serious bug and the match was also not in
correspondence time control but tournament  time control when there are matches
when side have more than 24 hours per move.

There are clearly matches with higher level

see for example GM nickel against engines in
http://www.chessfriend.com/

Of course nickel has the right to use the engines and the target is to check if
the combination human+engines is better than the engines.


He also played against hydra and beat it 2-0
Hydra still did not resign in game 1 based on the report but it is clear that
nickel is winning.

Note that Nickel is probably not the strongest player in the world in
correspondence chess so there are probably correspondence games with higher
level.
