Not exactly true

Shredder 7 is not the best for Correspondence game analysis.
The evaluations are not stable and therefore you cant trust them.
It show you +1.22 in a position and you think this has to be big advantage for
white and when you make the move suggested you get -0.09. You make another move
and you will get +1.34 again. and so on.

Fritz 8.008 or Fritz 7.008 are much better for Analysis mode.
Shredder 7 might be good for over night analysis.
It is also good for the endgame and it might be good to find ideas in the
middlegame.
