Yes I've heard this many times bit in my experience Shredder 6 seems to be good
at tactics.

I'll try and dig out some test positions and see how it compares to Junior 7,
Fritz 7, Tiger 15 and Hiarcs 8.  It'll be a good exercise to test Shredder 7's
tactical ability.

True but as Dann Corbit has once said, "all strong engines are also strong at
tactics", which on refection I agree with.

Steve
