1. Interface is the same.
2. There are some new features, I think the learning capabilities (including:
"keep hash tables", "keep evaluation tables", position, book, result learning)
are new.
3. Selectivity (default is still 12) can now be set to 14, 16, max (?)
4. There is a coach function - not sure how good it is though
5. Yes, it will analyze a full game

I can add that I've always been impressed with Shredder's style of play, and in
my opinion it may well be the one program that is stronger than its SSDF rating.
I wasn't surprised when its author was (recently) very quick to state he would
not shy away from participating in the championships this summer. All in all -
an underrated program (IMHO).

PK.
