Stefan,

Congratulations on your victory in London.

Can you tell me/us what areas of the program you worked on to prepare for this
tournament?  I thought that perhaps the middle game was beefed up some and, as
always, Shredder was real strong in the end game.

Can you make some comments on the games against Rebel and Junior.  I was
thoroughly pleased to see how strong Shredder came back in these two games but
on the other hand, I was kind of disappointed that it let itself get into those
positions.

Looking forward to Shredder 5.

Steve
