Oooohhh no stefan´s opening preperations are horrible.See the game against
gandalf in paderborn a few weeks ago.Or the bad position against nimzo in london
after the openingtheory.I personally have seen the bad opening preparition in
paderborn (WCC´99)in the game against hiarcs.It was a nightmare.Every other
program had lost two of these three games against these opponents but shredder
lost not a single one.This is what i say shredder can safe a position that is in
danger.

Fritz is much more better in tactics but positional play is the field for
shredder.

It is superimportant, so your choice to take DeepFritz is absolutly right.
In correspondence games the humans do the positional job and the maschines do
the tactical job.
