Why make that comparison when the time difference is almost double?  Its also
possible that double the time controls also helps Shredder. And as with any list
or rating you have also ignored the start basis of the list which naturally
means you can make no simple + or - comparison between the two. Its a totally
pointless comparison.

A better comparison is the CCRL list as the time controls are very similar. My
AMD 2600+ benches to 54 minutes for CCRL time controls.

2 Fruit 2.2-2.2.1 2846 +23 −23 58.3% 2794.2 42.3% 549
3 Fritz 9 2843 +23 −23 57.5% 2793.6 36.2% 549
  Shredder 9 2815 +23 −23 53.2% 2793.7 36.8% 560

Obviously the total overall conditions are the same or they are not. My post
stated simply that engine books were used. In reply to Albert's comment that
only the SSDF uses original books, thats all.

The follow up you replied to clearly indicated that the conditions were not the
same so I am not sure what the point is in examining that any further.
