Well, maybe nobody knows as things are changing all the time. However the
Shredder version who lost against Hydra was a heavily buggy version (handicapped
by mistake; an important part of the program was deleted) estimated about 150
points weaker than Shredder 9 ( I have said this at least 10 times now), so ANY
strong chess program would have won against Shredder in those conditions.

Now the latest Shredder vesion seems stronger than Rybka. I say seems because
the positive score is only on a few games, so not enough to be sure, but we can
make further improvements if needed.

Hydra may be stronger too...

What most people see is the past, while the future is seen only by a few
people...the testers of the new secret versions.
