My impression based on watching games is that programs that you consider as slow searchers like shredder has no special knowledge to be considered as knowledge based program. Here is a link for a loss of Shredder6 at 12 hours per side. see http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?220995 Shredder captured a pawn at h2 and did not understand that the rook has no future after capturing h2(it evaluated itself as 2 pawns up when it seems that the position is drawn and even lost the game). Even only material evaluation is more realistic than shredder's evaluation. I have a friend who told me that he is disappointed from shredder. He told me that he read(in new in chess if I remember correctly) that one grandmaster said that he is using shredder because shredder is good in endgames. My friend found in his correspondence games that shredder goes for the same wrong ideas like other programs. Uri
