I am glad to hear that.  Most people have this idea in their heads that Shredder
isn't very good against humans.

While I believe that it IS refined to play better against computer opponents, I
have no doubt that in long blitz, and even standard or tournament time controls,
it can hang with all other programs in defeating humans.

Please post those games, Shredder and CB interface do have autosave.  I'd really
love to see them!
