Look for instance at Enrique's >tournament where Shredder-3 competed very well with the current top programs. Never denied it. He finished in the middle. >Your result 11:7 is not statistically significant. At best you can conclude >that none of both programs is without chance against the other one. I didn't say that. I wrote: "I think it is a bit behind." Nothing wrong with that and fits with Enriques tourney! And I won't conclude ANYTHING out of this 11-7 because I also saw Hiarcs7-WChess 12-8 and with switched colours there was WChess-Hiarcs 12-8. Anyway I admit I expected some better results for Shredder3 although these are only 18 games. I thought 50% speed advantage would have a bigger effect. >May be, we have to wait for SSDF, but I expect that Shredder-3 will rank among >the Top-8. >Uli We'll see. Maybe my match will be finished before some games are played by SSDF but I will, at least for myself, conclude SOMETHING from this 40-game-match. 40 games isn't the world but it INDICATES. However we have drifted away from the topic... And, finally, I only gave MY PERSONAL opinion.
