Dear Jose, Thanks for noticing. I'm not the computer chess expert that you folks are, so I wrote it through the eyes of an average person. There were a couple small errors that I wish I had caught. My review was completed in mid-January, well in advance of the February rating list. So I made a couple of quick revisions to my review when the latest list came out, but now see that I missed a spot. I also found a typo where I wrote "speach" rather than "speed." I hope that didn't ruin the review for you. As a non-expert regarding chess computers, please allow me to ask a question that's probably very stupid. It's clear that I found Shredder 7 to be a very strong chess engine, in fact, one of the strongest to date. Yet I also found that its ability to evaluate positions was not equally good. In fact, I think Fritz 6a and Fritz 7 have more accurate evaluation functions. Is there not a direct coorelation between a chess engine's ability to pick the right move and its ability to corectly evaluate the position? Thanks in advance. Stephen
