I also know that shredder missed a win against Junior in the last game of the last WCCC so I am not sure if Shredder play the endgame very well and it may be dependent on the definition of very well. A friend of me who bought shredder does not think that it is better than other top programs in the endgame. I remember that Shredder was not number 1 in a competition based on a position from rook endgame. Uri
