As a side note, realize that the 50 points are pure speculation. He just opined
on what he thought the endgame knowledge improvement would bring, but that's
before any kind of implementation or testing. It could be 10 points, or 100.

Well, I'm a fan of Shredder for several reasons. Aside from its great strength,
the biggest reason I must say has been its availability as a UCI (and previously
MCS) engine, allowing me to run it in other interfaces. In my case, most notably
Chess Assistant! All the top engines were stuck in the Fritz GUIs, which while a
nice interface is still not my database program of choice, so analyzing with
them meant having two programs open. A pain in the neck. No complaints about
Tiger, but variety was lacking a bit. So Shredder was a wonderful breath of air:
sure I don't have Fritz, Junior or Hiarcs, but I do have the Numero Uno, Ha!
Now of course, I'm feeling spoiled: Shredder, Fruit, Toga, and Rybka! :-D
