this question is very easy to answer.
on PIII-500 this shredder 4 scores more than 70% against H7.32 in 30m blitz.
hiarcs needed 21 games for the first victory!
longer time controls are further better for shredder.
the shredder engine is clearly superior. the weak-point is the opening book
(as seen also in paderborn against hiarcs and ferret), but this will be fixed
at the commercial release.
