I've already explained on many occassions, the reason is because..........

Junior 9 is always crushed by Shredder 7.04 (in a match), but Shredder 9 always
struggles terribly against Junior 9.

I would be interested to see which other programs have any of that "something"
which highlights Shredder 9's weaknesses, and then it can be studied better.
