The recently published match result of 17.0-3.0 between TheKing 3.12 Utz10b vs Shredder5 UCI played under ChessBase-GUI [40/40' on K6-2 533/32 MB hash] was titled as sensational but a lot of people guessed there would something be wrong. Although 95-98 % of the moves could be reproduced in the analysis mode under the Shredder5-GUI the severe loss of Shredder5 seemed suspect. Mogens Larsen assumed a problem with the WinBoard adapter used. And after all, I must say he was right. I had played the match with the WB-adapter of 24th May 2001 and this one should never be used with Shredder5 under CB-GUI. I repeated the match, this time using the WB-adapter of 23th November 2000 and obtained the following results: P3 650/32 MB hash: TheKing 3.12 Utz10b - Shredder5 [10.5-9.5] 40/40' K6-2 533/32 MB HT: TheKing 3.12 Utz10b - Shredder5 [11.5-8.5] 40'40' These results look very realistic since Shredder5 does not feel comfortabel on the slow hardware. Important conclusion: NEVER USE THE WB-ADAPTER OF 23TH MAY 2001 WHEN PLAYING WITH SHREDDER5 UNDER THE CB-GUI. Regards Kurt
