Hi Uri, > >Is shredder better than other commercial programs in tactics? I have not made specific test/comparison, but only looked at the played games. What I can say is that Stefan did a huge work on the engine in all fields like speed up, chess knowledge add, new settings and new search. Also the selective search was increased. My impression is that it is tactically faster than 6.0 a lot and that loves complicated tactical positions. However the most improvements are on positional understanding combined with tactics. Very strong is the endgame. I think much better than previous versions. Of course other improvements are related in better positions received from the opening book. >Is it better than Ruffianor or Knightdreamer in solving the GCP test suite >(You can see results of knightdreamer in the knightdreamer homepage)?
