I have tested together with a beta of mine a little bit around with Shredder 5: The GUI has the same brain damage then Chessbase... Without special adjustment to the GUI, no engine works properly, and it is more complicated then within Chessbase because Chessbase sends a "fritz"-command to the engine so that the engine knows it is working under Chessbase GUI... (If it reacts on the "fritz"-statement anyway)... Shredder 5 does not send anything... But some things are also better: the way Shredder 5 sends the time control is better because it is send AFTER the move list, what will help most engines... In my engine Quark, I have a special Shredder5 statement in the ini-file where you can tell the engine manually that it is working under Shredder5 or not, so that it could play with nearly full strength under Shredder5... (Anyway, might be not so interesting for you, Quark is one of the lower bunch engines but one of the only with special adjustments to shredder 5 ... thanks to my beta-testers, I myself have not shredder 5 at the moment and it is really hard work to email around versions... I wonder if they will once release kind of a demo-version, because it will be much easier to implement all those features according to shredder if you can test with the gui yourself...)
