I recently made the statement that Shredder was not a "Blitzer". I'm issuing a
recall of that statement. I just finished a 20 game match of Gambit Shredder vs
Chess Tiger 13 (G/5minutes). Gambit Shredder won +8 -6 =6 (11-9). That does
not necessarily mean Gambit Shredder is better than Chess Tiger but it does
indicate it can play with the Tiger. Below is game 17 of the match in which
Gambit Shredder announced "Mate in 67". Of course it's a tablebase win in a
very difficult KBBKN endgame.
Seasons Greetings,
Jim
