Hi Helmut,

There is no thought in my mind that Shredder can achieve a draw or win
against any top GM,once it is put into a position, were its 20 ply horizon
is adequate to solve difficulties confronting long range planning from humans.
I also belief,that Shredder will win games against top GM's if and when Stefan
finds a way to improve the transition period from middlegame prior to the
endgame tablebases usage. But before else,Stefan must improve its current
opening lines similar to Fritz,Junior and Rebel programs if he
wants to achieve Super GM status.
