I am in the middle of a very extensive engine match with shredder 7.04 and deep
fritz 7. In each game Fritz is playing the white side of the Petroff's and
Shredder is playing the Black side. Shredder has fast found improvements in
almost every line for black. I was once a die hard Fritz fan and I still am but
I am beginning to see that in a tough position Shredder is much better equipped
to find the solution.
