Hi Stephen.  Actually what I wrote is that Shredder is usually more (not too)
"optimistic".  Very often it is too optimistic, but I have also seen many
occasions where Fritz is too pessimistic and it is the Shredder eval which is
the more accurate.  I have seen many times where Fritz will think a position is
dead = (0.00 eval) when one side is in fact clearly better.  None of the chess
engines are oracles of truth when it comes to position evaluation.
