What should be the sense to install the Shredder 8 engine a second time in your Fritz 8 GUI - besides Shredder 8 CB native ? IMO there are two other senseful ways to use this Shredder8.exe: Install it as UCI engine a) under other interfaces like Shredder Classic, Chess Assistant, Chesspartner or Arena b) under Fritz 8 GUI with a special setting (e.g. Shredder 8 Gambit) - as separate UCI engine, additionally to the Shredder 8 (default) as CB engine. So, under ChessBase GUI install Shredder 8 as UCI engine (menue "Engine | Create UCI Engine...") and after picking up the "Shredder8.exe" file press the button "Parameter..." to change the engine parameters - e.g. to the Shredder 8 Gambit settings: Queen=110 Queen (Endgame)=105 Rook=90 Rook (Endgame)=95 Bishop=90 Bishop (Endgame)=95 Knight=90 Knight (Endgame)=95 Pawn=85 Pawn (Endgame)=95 Draw Score=-10 King Safety=130 Center Control=120 Pawn Structure=95 Passed Pawns=105 Passed Pawns (Endgame)=110 Bishop Pair=105 Bishop Pair (Endgame)=105 (other parameters unmodified); after "OK" change the engine name to (e.g.) "Shredder 8 Gambit". After "OK" you have a 2nd engine "Shredder 8 Gambit" as separate UCI engine under CB - besides Shredder 8 (default) as CB native. Manfred
