Printing games and results of games is not printing lies. If the autoplayer of chessbase help chessbase then it is important to prove it but I saw no proof for it. The fact that you get different results may be because you do not use the same hardware and is not a proof that the autoplayer of chessbase helps chessbase. The ssdf guys tested shredder4 and sent all the games with logfiles to the programmer and stefan found no problem with the results. shredder4 is probably number 3 after Fritz and Junior. Stefan has no problem with printing the games and the results of shredder4 but the ssdf do not want to give information about shredder if they have not the right to print information about other programs of the millenium.
