Hallo Stefan ,

First : many congrats on your win at WMCCC 2000 .

Shredder 4 is my favourite professional chessprogram and it is good to see it
has been further improved ( which gives me some excuse to buy it for Christmas
although I couldn't name a sensible reason as being satisfied with Shredder 4
anyway ... )

To the questions :

a.) It would be great if you could post the Shredder pgn of the games . As they
contain much interesting information ( like time used of both opponents , move
expected , depth , time used ) it would be nice to be able to look at and
compair with Shredder 4 and/or other chessprograms . Also it would add valuable
information to the opening book discussion .

b.) Although engine strength is great , what new or improved features are
planned for Shredder 5 ? Anything new ?

c.) Will there be a winboard version of Shredder or have you given up on this ?

Thanks in advance .

pete
