I'm thinking of buying Shredder 6 and Chess Tiger 14.0 from Chessbase, and I have a few questions. 1. I'm assuming Shredder comes with the new Fritz 7 GUI. Is this correct? 2. I presently own Fritz 6 - will it run under the new GUI, or do you need Fritz 7? 3. Will Chess Tiger run under the new GUI? 4. Is Chess Tiger 15 coming out soon (in which case I would wait for it)? 4. I've seen some messages about bugs in Fritz 7 and the new GUI. What are these bugs and have they been squashed? 5. I live in the US. What web based chess stores have people used and recommend as sources for this software? 6. Finally, I'm interested in Shredder and Chess Tiger to add different analysis from Fritz when going over my games and openings. From what I understand Shredder plays a very solid positional game while Chess/Gambit Tiger plays more enterprisingly, with Fritz somewhere in between. And since Crafty is a free download, where does it fall on the style spectrum? What are people's experiences with and opinions of the styles of play of these four engines? Any and all answers and opinions on these questions are welcome. Thanks in advance! Ralph Patriquin
