Note that I did not say that Shredder6 is not better than shredder5.32 but that I do not believe that it is 80 elo better even after including the book and the new engine. I expect it to be 40-50 elo better based on the information that I read. I think that it is better for people who work for an engine to be careful not to say too positive things about it. It is truth espacially in the case of Shredder when Shredder has an history of giving wrong information by "objective" testers. I do not know Sandro and the reason that I do not trust the information is Shredder's history together with results from harald Faber's games that suggest that shredder6 is less than 80 elo better than Shredder5.32 when it is interesting that Shredder6 got the worst result against Fritz7a(a new engine that Sandro could not tune his book by games against it).
