I agree with GCP's comments below. The Shredder interface is very comfortable to work in. You can install about two dozen free UCI engines for alternative points of view about a position on the fly. Some of these are pretty strong like LG2000V3.6, SOS2, and Yace. The same could be said about Fritz though with WB engines (disabled somewhat however -- let's not go there.) Another neat feature is that Shredder Classic never needs refreshing. (Oh, it asked for it once after I upgraded for the first time to the Padderborn version.) My orginal CD is safely tucked away. I had the Fritz GUI installed for a short time, but never used it much.
