The current beta is between 30 and 60 points stronger than S4, and the final version will be even stronger. That's about the engine alone. Sandro's book could significantly contribute to Shredder's performance, particularly in comp-comp, although much less than years ago, before programs had learners. Sandro posted that S5 will be 80 points stronger than F6a, which means about 150 more than S4. I don't believe it for a second. Programs improve and the new Shredder will be great, but miracles are something else. Enrique
