Everyone knew this before. What everyone has to accept now is that Shredder played THAT TOURNAMENT best and therefore, absolutely justified, became new World Champion. What will be interesting of course is if Shredder4 will also perform well in SSDF (if Ossi finally allows SSDF to test Shredder4; I don't believe it, because Shredder can lose reputation) in many more than 7 games. However, these 7 games look very promising!
