Best wishes to Stefan !! The next editorial in CSS will hopefully not claim that shredder is not worth buying it :-) Karsten wanted to say that Shredder is very very strong in playing the endgame. He said: you don't have to care if Shredder2 has a pawn less, he will turn the game into a win or a draw. In the 6th round Shredder killed Nimzo98. We will get the games later. Maybe Monday. What a pity that Virtual2 was not fast enough released. But anyway, Virtual1 did also a good job. Karsten said they tested the MAC-Hiarcs. It was very very fast, faster than a Pentium2/266 MMX machine !! But the limited Hash-Tables of 3 MByte were not that optimal, he said. In this tournament Fritz5 did a better job ! (Best wishes to ChessBase :-) (BTW: Fritz5 had 51 or 58 MB Hash-Tables !) The results of Rebel9 and Rebel7 are not much different. Karsten told something that CSTal had problems with the book. In one game it came out of the book after 34 moves and it was an endgame position and although it said +3 it did not win it. In another position it came out of the book into a lost position. I think we have to wait for the game-scores. We can put them here in PGN if you want. Have a nice week-end !!
