When I first got Shredder 8 and compared it with Shredder 7.04, I thought the same thing. However the deeper plys mean nothing in that comparison. You have to look at total nodes calculated, or total time of the analysis, to compare an analysis between Shredder 7.04 to Shredder 8. To put it another way, if you calculate to a particular ply depth with Shredder 7.04, and then calculate to the same ply depth with Shredder 8, then Shredder 7.04 will definitely win that game. So ply level means nothing. WP
