People say that Shredder, 11 or 10.

Other people say that Rybka 3 plays best most endgames, she just fails at endgames with unstoppable pawns, blind bishops, bishop underpromotions or when one engine is clearly winning (she may misplay to a draw.)

I am 99,9999% sure, that Rybka 3 beats all Shredders when playing endings.

EET test:

001. Rybka 2.3.2a 72/100 00:42:26
002. Shredder 10 68/100 00:45:17

Rybka 3 is clearly better than 2.3.2a.
