Hi John: Shredder 6 comes with two different interfaces on the one cd. The main interface (that is installed automatically) is the same interface as comes on the Fritz 7 interface. The interfaces are identical in fuction, options, etc. The second interface called the "classic" interface is the one that uses the "triple brain." All that means is that you can have two engines analysing a move at the same time. Then the "brain" decides which of the engines has the better move and picks it. The "Classic" interface also has some interesting ways to help study endgames. Also, I know of no chess review out thus >far, but can anyone tell comment which engine analyzes better? From what I >understand Shredder is the engine in the pocket version of Fritz 7. I also >understand Shredder plays a more positional game as both play tactical.I might >be wrong. Thanks! Personally I would purchase Shredder 6 over Fritz 7. (( Originally I was going to buy fritz 7 for one reason: The author of Fritz often puts out updates to his engine a few times before the next major version comes out (i.e. their were several fritz 6 engines put out). Fritz 7 already has had some engine updates... but the author of Shredder 6 also seems to be putting out updates before the next major upgrade....))
