When you analyse a game and move forward and backward in the lines, Shredder will remember and combine the already seen lines much better than before. This is basically all. The result is that it is now very easy to analyse with Shredder, most of the time you just have to move forward the suggested line until Shredder can see clearer in the position. Then go backwards again until Shredder is suggesting a different move somewhere. Now follow this line and proceed with the above until you have reached the root again. This new feature will also be included in the new Shredder Classic 1.2 engine so you can try it there for 30 days. >BTW you do not need to convince me to buy Shredder 9, it is on my shopping list >for some months. ;) Good :-) >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. The protection of the Chessbase version is the same, but probably a newer version. The protection of the UCI version is your personal license code you will receive as this version comes without CD.
