It was my idea.

You might be surprised, but there is also a Gambit Shredder on the Shredder5 CD,
as well as a Shredder Bean Counter, a Shredder Brute Force, a Solid Shredder.
All have different playing styles but have a similiar strength. You can use all
simultaneously for analysis to get different view for a certain positions or use
them together in the triple brain.

What's your problem?
