>Obviously it is not the worst book. It's a very well tested book. >Only superseeded by the Kure book and Noomen preparation. > >I found Noomen prepared the best for the WMCC. Because of the many >fritz interfaces and not having the worst engines, >Kure scored however most points on book. Also the fact that many >books at WMCC still relied heavily on automatically generated books >favours Kure a lot. with a good book you also should not come into lost line. the kure book was the only one not to be surprised by a direct win. > >The Shredder book doesn't kill you like those books do. However instead >it allows you to slowly die into a position where shredder will play well. > >Also don't forget that when preparing a shredder book you CAN allow shredder >to play a few moves on its own, Kure hardly can't. He's not allowed to >use a real good engine with his book! but don´t forget that this helps nothing when the position is directly lost. >>>>Which program had the worst middlegame? >>>>Which program was the best in the endgame? Shredder 5.0 > >>yes, but even close rebel and tiger. > >Not near to that. Shredder ruled in the endgame by a large margin, >no one even getting close. i disagree. rebel can outplay shredder in the endgame regularely. and rebel can defend an endgame very well, if it is defendable. the difference is: shredder is able to hold totally lost positions. he is the best "swindler". no other program has this ability. in "normal" endgames tiger and rebel are more than competitable. >>>>Which program is best in noticing attacks and attacking? Shredder 5.0 >> >>i would prefer junior. > >Junior is very bad here. For example >it didn't see a thing when DIEP attacked it. maybe. but take a look onto the junior-rebel and shredder-junior games. nice attacks. >>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. > >Comon the tiger book at WMCC was way better as Shredder. absolutely not. the tiger book was focussed only on rebel. but tiger isn´t able to play rebel lines. this was seen in many games. > >Tiger even got won out of book against the big Kure book with the >novelty as played in the Fritz-Tiger game. not at all. maybe tiger was better, but i´m not able to see a clear win. do you? which line?
