I am surprised to read that shredder did not win the first place and even did
not win the third place.
I thought that it used at least 4 processors and that it was also significantly
better than the opponents with one processor(at least if we talk about Glaurung)
but I know nothing about the event.

Can you explain what happened?

Did shredder play significantly weaker than the public version or maybe it was a
swiss luck of Glaurung and Shredder played significantly stronger opponents?

Can you give us a table of the results or a link to table of the result.
I am not interested in games without normal castling rights(there is enough
normal chess games) but I am interested in the results.
