>>Which program had the best opening book? Shredder 5.0 you must be kidding! shredder´s book was so very bad that shredder was named there "houdini-chess" because first he has had to untie himself. sorry, but it was one of the worst one´s. alex´book was BY FAR the best and there is NO doubt about that. having killer line´s but also with hardly a whole. >>Which program had the worst opening book? here you can say shredder. >>Which program had the best middlegame? Junior i prefer fritz >>Which program had the worst middlegame? >>Which program was the best in the endgame? Shredder 5.0 yes, but even close rebel and tiger. >>Which program was the worst in the endgame? >>Which program is best in closed positions? Rebel ok >>Which program is best in noticing attacks and attacking? Shredder 5.0 i would prefer junior. >>Which program is best in defense? Shredder 5.0 no doubt. >>Which program is best in playing human players? Shredder 5.0 no, no, no. much better is rebel. >>Finally, which program is best overall? Shedder 5.0 not so very clear. rebel has the best evaluation, tiger the best search and fritz the best combination of these two points. bt for me it is clear, that these four programs are dominating at the moment. with a reasonable book i predict tiger to overrun shredder. maybe shredder is now 10 points above tiger and shredder and fritz. when all the new versions will be released in autumn you will see shredder not any more there. take it as a prediction. not more, not less.
