Can you post >what do your test show about the increase of strength of shredder in version 9? >thanks > > pablo Hi Pablo, well this is not fully true. I mean that the bug we discovered made us loosing time and this made it longer... Once that was found Stefan started to make improvements version after version, but we did not stopped until we were (yes both of us) satisfied. Stefan was working on the engine and me not, but we do exchange opinions and ideas, so I can state Stefan works on his chess program in a very professional way. I like Shredder 9, but again I will not give any strenght increase estimate this time... Sandro
