As far as I know petrovich did not play against the Shredder team. You cannot know result of the shredder team against humans based on results of the commercial version. The comparison between commercial shredder and hydra is simply unfair because people may buy shredder and train at home against it and they cannot do it against hydra. I can also add that it is possible that the GM's who beat shredder are simply tuned against computer opponents when adams is tuned against human opponents so even if many 2500-2600 GM's can beat Shredder it is still possible that adams will lose to shredder.
