I did not know that it was only 7 rounds.
It helps to explain shredder's failure(and I see that 5 out of 7 are enough even
not to win third place).

I thought that there are at least 9 rounds.

It seems that WCCC in standard chess is more serious tournament than WCCC in
FRC.

I wonder which program beated shredder except spike.
