Lin, Shep's words in a recent post:

"Actually, the latest Shep Blitz Championship (results not up on SCCS yet)gives:
1. Chess Tiger 11.5   10.5/14 (only two defeats: to G6 and CM6000)
2. Hiarcs 7.0          8.5/14
3. Genius 6.0          ???
4. Zarkov 5.0          ???
Other participants were Rebel 10c Tiger, CM 6000, Fritz 5.32 and Crafty 16.6
(which finished last).Time control was 10/game on two 233 MHz machines.
Tiger also finished 2nd in last year's Shep Blitz Championship III, half a point
behind Genius 5 (=Genius 6).
I suppose Tiger 11.5, Genius 5/6 and Hiarcs 7 are all pretty equal at that time
control."
