Well, hearing this from me should then be more objective and "trustworthy" for
them, although I can hear them ask "Where is your proof?" but I have no answer
like "From x000 games". This is subjective and only based on several impressions
I got from games, positions, main lines and evaluations.

Can you explain this a bit more detailed? Or give a link where to find more
about how this feature has been improved?

BTW you do not need to convince me to buy Shredder 9, it is on my shopping list
for some months. ;)

Ah one final question:
Did you change the copy protection for Shredder 9/classic/UCI? The former
versions made a lot of trouble in my DVD drive in my Toshiba notebook, the
original CD was hardly recognized for the copy protection check.
