 Well, as i see this year it was more difficult for you to release a stronger
program when it was usually scheduled to (at least december had been the date to
look for a new shredder version in the past years), which makes me think that
you weren't confident that you had made a big improvement (or at least the usual
30-40 elo increase we costumers are used to see on a new shredder). Can you post
what do your test show about the increase of strength of shredder in version 9?
thanks
