In my Blitz database (mostly Game/5 minutes) Deep Shredder is 120 points below Fritz 7. All games played on (2) Athlon 900-1400 machines using auto232. This is certainly not proof but is some evidence that Deep Shredder does get better results at longer time controls. Since I have this proof, I cannot believe otherwise untill I see proof. I don't own Shredder 6 so I cannot comment on it. Jim
