Deep Shredder is not the same program as Shredder 5 !! Deep Shredder has some improvements over Shredder 5 and is according to my test slightly stronger than Shredder 5 even on a single processor. I must add that this time control does not favor either Shredder. Shredder gets better with longer time controls and faster hardware. The difference between G/60 and 40/2hours is significant. This program seems designed to do one thing and that's play very well at 40/2hours on a fast machine. JMHO Jim
