I do not complain about the fact that shredder is first. I only said that Junior deserves a better place(I did not say first place) I have not enough data to be sure about nothing but I believe (based on the results of the tournaments and the games that I saw) that shredder is better than Deep Junior inspite of the hardware advantage of Deep Junior. I believe based on my data(again I have not enough data to be sure about nothing) that Junior made an improvement of more than 40 ssdf rating points(if we do not include the hardware improvement) but it is probably not enough to be better than shredder4.
