Thorsten,

>1. shredder is not "good in tactics". tactics ís in fact one of its weaknesses.

I disagree - in fact I think that this is a myth that seems to have been going
around for quite a while.  Sure the early Shredders weren't tactical monsters
and Shredder 6.02 is probably not *the* best at tactics but I certainly wouldn't
regard it's tactical ability as a weakness.  I'd even be surprised if you could
produce a game where Shredder 6 lost due to a tactical oversight.

Regards,

Steve
