The 3rd, which is being released now, is to run Shredder 5 as an engine within
Chess Assistant 6. After that, the options vary. You can have it play everything
automatically right from the beginning, run it as a background engine choosing
the moves to play, or start it for automatic play after the game has been
initiated. This last makes it easier to set up and start playing from specific
positions. One thing though: it is only possible in ICC.
