It is possible and it is not the first time that things like these happen.
In the previous wccc Deep thought lost against Fritz3 inspite of the hardware
advantage of Fritz3.

I agree that Junior machine was better but I am not sure that my Junior5.4 is
worse than Hiarcs on equal machines.
Junior can find good moves that Hiarcs cannot find(for example the sacrifice
against Nimzo that my Junior find also with my pentium200)

Junior chose a bad opening line against Hiarcs in WCCC and could not hope for
more than a draw inspite of the hardware advantage.

I agree that Junior failed against shredder but one game is no proof that Junior
is worse.

My feelings is that shredder is the best one on equal hardware but I have no
proof for it and I hope to be wrong about it.

I think that the main reason is that it is not easy to do a program that can
work with more than 1 processor.

Hiarcs version cannot profit from more than one processor and it is not an easy
job to change it.
